3.) Upcycle An Old Top Into A New Pegbag. Thirdly, this is one of my favourite recycling projects, ever!! I love this peg bag and it lasted years. Sadly one day it got old and mould as I started to leave it outside. It lastest so many years though so I can not complain!! Upcycled Sparkly Peg Bag: Recycling And Reusing. Love upcycling and creating something new that has a purpose. I upcycled this new peg bag a while ago (upcycled new peg bag). So, I created it a few years ago and It lasted a few year but towards the end of last summer, it went a bit green with forgetting to bring it inside after using the pegs. Upcycled Sparkly Peg Bag: Recycling And Reusing.

What you need: Old jeans, pin’s, sharp scissors How to make: Simply pin where you would like them to; Refashion: 5 Minute Makeover: Old Jeans New Shorts.  

A funny story about this photo too. Years ago I entered a competition to win an expensive pair of jeans from Selfridges. I won the Instagram competition and won a £280 pair of jeans of my choice. When I was visiting one of my blogger friends blog, who lives in London. I realised she had been to a jeans even in London and too a photo of Selfridges window from outside.

My photo of these jeans were in the window!! I was so proud and wanted to rush down to see it. Also, how cool would it have been to go down and take selfies. But sadly I didn’t get chance too.

6.) Jeans Vase:

Sixth, something to make with your cut off legs of your jeans! I Recovered an old jar with my jean leg and popped an artificial flower inside. Up-Cycled Jeans Vase. So fun.

Paint Up Old Furniture:

7.) Paint Up Old Furniture. Seventh, I brought mine already upcycled but I keep saying once lockdown is over I am going to go out and look around the charity shops for an old dresser or something cool to paint. Betel Restored Furniture: Amazing Restored Furniture.

8.) Upcycle An Old Whisky Bottle. Last but not least, upcycle an old whisky bottle. I got a lovely bunch of flowers on Sunday as an early birthday present. How lucky am I!? I up-cycled an old Jack Daniels bottle, into a flower vase to pop my pretty flowers in and I love how it turned out. Up-cycled Whisky Bottle : Wednesday Blog Hop. So much fun.
