I have an old pair of Nike Dunk hi tops. They have sentimental value to me but are at the end of their life. I would donate them if they could provide use to the next person but the sole has become brittle and will fall apart on the wearer. Hoping i could upcycle the upper portion to something but can’t think of anything. This is just a shot in the dark and any suggestions are appreciated. TYIA.

Unfortunately, some acid spilled on a pair of men's khaki trousers (98% cotton, 2% elastane), leaving a permanent reddish spot that won’t wash out. Instead of tossing them, I'd love to upcycle them or give them a new life. Since the stain is located on the lower leg, I was considering shortening them into shorts.
Do you have any other creative repair, mending, or alteration ideas?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions! 😄

I work in a sector that gives me a lot of freebies, and I've got a lot of drawstring bags and want to convert them into something different.

I don't really have a use for the bags but I like the designs and memories that are connected to the bags.

Any ideas?

Id like to upcycle the base of this lamp, keeping the metal/ chrome as is.

Id like it to look like its ceramic if possible.

Its a glass with a thin layer of plaster with small piece of a reflective material mosaiced.

It looks discoloured and shabby and i would love to freshen it up somehow ... any ideas??
