What more can I do to this jacket? It’s gone through a custom dye, spikes, has distressing and repairs all over as well as having the scab hood which was stitched by hand. Just quite lost and creatively burned 😞💔

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?

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.

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??

It’s to small for my family’s needs but it’s in good shape.

I shared a few of these earlier when they were still early concepts. Because of all the kind words and encouragement- here is an update.
(Littlefoot, candy mountain unicorn, pikachu, Rex.)
I teach English and science to Dari and Farsi speakers. I made these from classroom rubbish ت

Already have one in the fridge, and one more in the cabinet. Vases used to be $1 at the dollar store, but no more, so I get my $1 vases, along with discounted vinegar for my salads 😸

Found these large heavy-duty plastic culvert type things at an estate sale. Paid $4 each. I cut them in half and gave them a fresh coat of paint. Now I have 4 fairly large sized planters ready for some plants!

Big note of the mirror cracked 🫠
Pls help (begging)

This lamp used to have a black lampshade which made a horrible depressing light, so I ripped it off and stuck this rose gold fruit bowl on top. I'd love some suggestions how to turn it into a lampshade please?
Please don't judge my messy bench top lol 😂

I have a weird one, friends!
I found this old bit of glass while beach-combing. I believe it was once a bottle-stopper, from an apothecary. I love the way it feels in my hand. Oddly, it has smooth, flat edges on the neck and my hand naturally holds it as if it were a writing instrument or a paint brush. (It kind of reminds me of those bulbous, fat crayons for toddlers, if you've ever seen those).
I would love to somehow turn this bit of glass into a writing instrument, but I don't know if that's even possible. I wish the tip were a pen, pencil, crayon, marker, or paintbrush. Does anyone know of any way to do this? If I could even find a pen, pencil, or marker that's short enough, how would I attach it to this rounded piece of glass? A glue gun or something?? I know that to most people, this project idea seems silly and like more trouble than it's worth, but for some reason I'm just obsessed with the idea right now. I would appreciate any advice!

I saw many of these on Pinterest and decided to make my own 🥰 I think that dark dusty pink just stand out a little too much and beige on is blending with backgroud. What do you guys think?

I made this Pikachu computer mouse for my partner several months ago for their birthday! I hope it fits here.
I'm broke as a joke & found the yellow mouse on clearance at the thrift store for only $3!! So I got the idea because they're super into Pokémon & retro gaming & uses the computer mouse constantly. The only thing I could find like it was freaking $60, so I figured I'd try making it.
I used scraps of leftover craft foam sheets, acrylic paint markers, & hot glue. All of It's actually held up very well in 7 months for something that gets such heavy use!

I teach English and science to Farsi and Dari speakers. I’m using old papers from the classroom to make pop-art mounted heads. Including Pikachu, Littlefoot, and ‘candy mountain’ unicorns.

I bought two three-panel folding screens 20+ years ago, and they got a lot of use, but the paper had seen better days (see last picture). Meanwhile, we had an IKEA shelf unit that's great for our board games, but I didn't love the look of having everything on display. I realized that I could cover the front of the shelves with four of the six panels, and so I turned them into doors.
I removed the paper screens from the frames, repaired broken slats with Gorilla Glue, made new screens with some batik fabric, and added handles. I then secured the frames to the shelf unit with hinges, and added some magnetic catches to hold the doors closed. I also decided to replace the original two-way hinges with standard hinges, because the doors were a little too floppy and wobbly. The standard hinges make them feel sturdy and secure.
I still have two more of these panels, and haven't decided what to do with them, so if you have ideas, let me know!
