Up-cycle Re-cycle Vintage

Posted in Create, Home & Living on April 16th, 2010 by HS

Up-cycling is a process in which disposable or discarded items are re-purposed to make them valuable, useful, or simply aesthetically pleasing.Up-cycling is designed to work in opposition to consumer culture, encouraging people to think of new and innovative ways to use things, instead of simply buying new . It also benefits the environment, by promoting re-use over discarding whenever possible. By wise geek.

Sourced from: REVERSE GARBAGE West End Brisbane
Content: Strong Card Board with aluminum strip edging
Original Purpose: Vitamin storage bin with clip lock lids

  

Home Savvy Stock Display 002                 Vintage01082009_001_ 

Our inspiration came from a need to find or create some stands / risers  complimentry to therange of vintage sports equipment that we had in for fathers day last year, not only did the containers create a lot of interest but we found many practical other uses for them too.

Our bins have created an immense amount of interest since  we upcycled them as props/stands for displaying our gorgeous products and they have even been used as a stool occasionally, so we thought we would share our creation. I have one at home as a side / lamp table and my daughter wants a couple for bedside tables in her room – she’ll also use them as storage for her array of “precious” keepsakes that she has a tendency to collect, at least they will be out of sight  and off the floor and then probably forgotten. 

We suggest that before starting your own project to wipe out interior & exterior with damp cloth and remove dust dirt n grime. Line if required, either glue paper or fabric to inner sides/top/bottom. Use PVA glue, water down to ¾ strength as the base glue to glue your sheets on then as a sealer on top of the paper and  we used a 2′ paint brush to apply glue mix.

Tasmania’s 1909 “The Mercury”  newspapers were used to decorate our bins but there are unlimited options available, just let your imagination run wild. Just a few suggestions in keeping with the re-cycle mode - wallpaper, magazines, music sheets, maps, photocopy photo’s or even use off cut  fabric pieces
