DAY 22 - 100 DAY DECLUTTER - 9 Old Uniforms Garments And An Upcycle Idea - Rag Rug



Items:          9 of my son's old uniform garments


Owned for:   2+ years

Why I kept it:    
  • I thought he might pick them up to turn in as I am sure they held money out of his final check for them
Why letting go:   
  • He left the job around 2 years ago and I am sure it too late 
  • Trying to clear out his room to make it a makeup/craft/storage room.

Destination: Gave to my son and offered to put new patches over anything that had a company name on it and he can also wear when working on vehicles.


Had he not agreed to take them I would have removed the patches and donated to a local thrift store or repurposed into something else, such as a the rag rug using fabric strips and a cardboard loom from the video by  at EHow on Youtube

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.
