Looking for some inspiration for redecorating your home? Why not try upcycling? Not only is it budget friendly, it’s also good for the environment. Here are some upcycling ideas to help you.
Thanks to Instagram, Pinterest and lifestyle magazines, we see beautiful interior design all the time. From spaces with an industrial look, to cosier spaces with more Scandinavian designs, it’s always the details that we appreciate the most. But, if you’re redecorating or refurnishing, these special little touches don’t have to break the bank.
The latest upcycling trend means that furniture and trinkets from antique shops and flea markets are getting a new lease on life and can be used to add unique and contemporary accents to all kinds of spaces – both inside and out.
So, if you’ve had your eye on a beautiful kitchen dresser, chest of drawers or unique vase in the antiques shop and would like to give it a refresh for your home, now’s the time to try out some upcycling ideas. To help you get started, we’ve put together some upcycling ideas for beginners.
One thing’s for sure, you can never have enough side tables. One easy upcycling idea for your home is to make a vintage-style table using an old vinyl record and a plant stand. Here’s how to do it:
Loctite 60 Second All-Purpose Glue is great for all kinds of upcycling ideas. Not only is it fast, strong and repositionable, it can also be used on leather, rubber, wood, metal, porcelain, paper, and plastic!
You can also use upcycling ideas to decorate your garden. For this idea, all you need is a selection of tins for soup, beans, etc. (used and cleaned) that you can use as plant pots.
The best time to sow seeds for herbs like parsley, coriander and dill is between March and August. Once these hardy herbs have started growing, they should last the winter too, as long as you keep an eye on them.
Who says upcycling should only be used for furniture and other objects in your home and garden? Upcycling ideas are also great for keeping the children occupied too! Here’s an idea you can try with your kids.
Loctite Super Glue Pure Gel is the best choice for craft projects with your children. Thanks to its precision applicator you can show them how to use it in an easy and mess-free way. This gel super glue is also odourless, non-irritating to skin and there is less risk of your kids getting their fingers stuck together. There’s even time to reposition things!
