2020 RUNWAY INSPIRED CROPPED TRENCH COAT DIY FROM THRIFTED TRENCH COAT


Screenshot from video below

I have been a long time follower of Angelina at Blueprint DIY and posting this as I am now going to be on the hunt for an old trench coat to try this DIY this thrift flip as I love how it looks.

While she posts it as a mystery with the surprise ending of the refashion based on 2020 Spring runway shows, I put the screenshot above as it is fabulous and I am not usually a fan of cropped anything these days. 

While the crop itself will be simple, the detail that makes this jacket is re-do of the sleeves with pleats to make it puffy, which is a trend this Spring.  While it won't be a simple as just cropping, it doesn't look too daunting either.  

Below is the video for this refashion.  If I do find the right coat and make it, I will post it here.

Old Muffin Tin Recycled into Christmas Decoration



Photo: Source

If you have an old muffin tin that you are thinking of tossing and replacing here is an idea for up-cycling it into a low from things you get at the dollar or craft store (to no-cost Christmas decoration depending on what you have on hand).

The links on the original source Createandshow are dead, but below is a link to the The Graphics Fairy for 100 Free Printable Christmas Images

The horned deer looks similar to what was used in the original project.



I also think these Vintage Christmas Bunnies would be cute


You could use any festive scrapbook or even wrapping paper in the tins instead, glue them in, then and a bow and a spring of Holly or Mistletoe for a quick and easy decoration.

If you make this I would love to see it or if you have any easy up-cycled crafts to share would love to check them out - feel free to post a link in the comments section.
