From the Archives Friday
This photo was one of my very firsts posts. I was in love with the corset like recycled can covers.
The original post was made from a photo on Flickr, but thanks to Pinterest I have stumbled up photos of the above pictures at Imgur of her old studio and her new one as well. Click here to view all eleven photos.
Second Shelf from the Top - North Wall (by Megan)
I have literally been dreaming about these in black & white.

Toy Animal Pincushion : Small Good Things
Turn a cast off plastic toy into a beast of burden for your sewing room with this tutorial from Small Good Things.
Recycling containers with crochet : Filth Wizadry
Repurpose a plastic container with a hole punch and your crochet skills. One of these days, I am going to learn how to crochet! Get the full how to over at Filth Wizadry.
Wow! Make a gorgeous clutch from a plastic bottle and fabric. I love the use of recycled denim, but I have a soft spot for upcycled jeans. The tutorial is in Croatian and isn’t the most clear for all steps, but you get the gist and if need be, you can always google how to make the cover.
(Sorry I’m not much more help, but I’m still on my first coffee if you know what I mean.)
Gorgeous lace and ribbon storage from toilet paper rolls. I wonder how many of these I can fit into the vintage suitcase I use to store my piles and tangles of lace and trim.
Turn that washing machine drum into an industrial chic planter. I never would have thought for a second to save the drum after replacing our washer, thankfully I still have access to it. I am going to grow a gorgeous tomato plant in it on my deck!
Barn Wood Wine Rack : Erin’s Lane Etsy
What a gorgeous use of railroad spikes and barn wood. This wine rack is going on my to do list, right after sourcing railroad spikes of course.
DIY Trophy Wine Stoppers : Country Living
These DIY trophy bottle stoppers would make great gits or the wine connoisseur in your life. And a great addition to anyone bar. I know a few competitive drinkers that would appreciate these.
Denim door hanger from Simply Stamping. Great way to upcycle a pair of jeans. There is no how to, but it looks pretty straight forward. I think you could also do a new sew version of this without any difficulties.
DIY Pallet coffee table : esprit cabane
Check out this gorgeous pallet coffee table! I am loving the colours and those drawers! Click the photo to be taken to the how-to.
Your source for creative storage with a hefty side of DIY and a serious dose of repurposing.
