Upcycled Linky Party {30}

Well good Monday morning y'all!  I'm just back from a weekend long road trip from the South to Connecticut and back again.  I'm tired.  It's Monday. So a party is just the thing to perk me up, don't you think?

Last week's party was great fun and I found the DIY Loom Box from Green Issues by Agy to be a nifty little treasure that I just have to give a whirl.  I can't wait to whip up some T-shirt yarn coasters!

And while we're on the subject of T-shirts.  Holy cow, did you see this bit of artwork made from a worn out T-shirt?  What a great way to preserve some memories, check out the DIY on Buttons and Paint!

And this week's shop feature comes from Our Children's Earth and is definitely something that I wish I had with me on road trip up North this weekend.  Folks, it's cold up there!

Now on to the Upcycled Linky Party #30.  Here's the run down on the rules:

1.  Feel free to link up no more than one upcycled tutorial that you created and one upcycled item from your shop each week.
2.  Please don't link up the same items or blog posts as in previous weeks, let's keep it fresh.
3.  Follow Love 2 Upcycle by email or Google connect.
4.  This is a party so socialize!  Visit at least one shared link and leave a meaningful comment or "favorite" it if it is an Etsy shop item.  It would be nice if you followed them as well, but it is not required.
5.  Please keep it family friendly and upcycled!  We reserve the right to remove any links that aren't appropriate.

Now, show us what ya got:

Upcyclers Creativity Challenge: October Results

October's challenge was full of fun!  Stephanie from OurChildrensEarth challenged us to upcycle broken or unwanted Halloween decorations for this month Upcyclers Creativity Challenge!

All entries can be found on our Pinterest board, HERE!

Here's what this month's judge had to say...

First Place Winner: Alison from Pru Pru

This is an amazing way to recycle old wax from Halloween that most people would throw away. I have never seen this done before. What an original, creative and super cute way to make our world a better place.  You can view Alison's excellent blog post HERE!

Second Place Winner: MaryJeansThings

What a great way to use old Halloween catalogs. Most people will throw these away after the season but I love that they were saved and recycled for the next year. These are beautiful and colorful. What a fun idea to use for parties or family get togethers.


Thanks, Stephanie
Our Childrens Earth

Upcycled Linky Party {29}

I know, I know...it's November.  Suddenly, there's not enough time for anything.  But did you have a chance to swing by and check out some of the projects linked up the 28th edition of the Upcycled Linky Party?  If not, here's a couple of fun tidbits:

I'm absolutely ga-ga over this ever so eco-chic fused plastic handbag for a doll from Gina's Craft Corner:

  
And while we're on the subject of fashion, Vicky Meyers showed us how she turned her daughter's oversized skirt into one that fit JUUUUUST right and turned the leftovers into a pretty fabric brooch.

And this week's fashionable shop feature, is this fabulous barrette made from a spoon handle.  Yeah, I made it but nobody else linked up a shop item so I had to feature my own stuff.  Maybe this week, y'all will link up some fabulousness from your own shops!  {hint, hint, nudge, nudge}

Now on to the Upcycled Linky Party #29.  Here's the run down on the rules:

1.  Feel free to link up no more than one upcycled tutorial that you created and one upcycled item from your shop each week.

Upcycled Linky Party {28}

Happy Halloween Week!  Yep, week!  I know some of you are just crazy....about the holiday, that is.  So I hope you'll celebrate to your hearts content all week long.  I'm more of a Fall gal.  I celebrate the season, so I just fell in love with the rustic look of this scrappy wall hanging that was linked up to last week's Upcycled Linky Party.  Check out Another Bright Idea for all the details:

And if you're looking for that perfect Fall bag, why not grab an old corduroy men's shirt and transform it into this adorable handbag from Creating My Way to Success:

As we round out National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I thought this T-shirt Dress from Our Children's Earth was an appropriate shop feature this week:
