Upcycled Linky Party {36}

Welcome to another fabulously upcycled Monday.  Just in case you missed all the fantastic ways to store your pens/pencils in last week's Upcycled Linky Party, I thought I'd throw in one more this week.  Buttons and Paint is at it again with this fun little Capri Sun Pencil Pouch.  Check out the full DIY and make one of your own:


You've all seen those T-shirt quilts, right?  Well, I love this little spin on the concept by Vicky Meyers.  She's taken her hubbies old striped work shirts and created a pretty nifty little design for her quilt.  Be sure to click through to see the full quilt photos:



This week's shop feature comes to us from Little Vintage Chest.  This is such a sweet little print on old book pages.


Now on to the Upcycled Linky Party #36.  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 whatcha got:

Upcycled Linky Party {35}

Maybe it's because we are three weeks into the new year and it's about time for all of our New Year's resolutions to begin slipping to the wayside that I'm attracted to the pencil pots that were linked up to last week's Upcycled Linky Party.  Where else shall we put all the pens and pencils that we are using to keep all those lists of things that we are supposed to be doing in the new year, right?

Buttons and Paint always brings us some fabulous DIY projects and this week was no different when she shows us how to make a super quick wooden pencil pot made from a large branch:


How about this version of a pencil pot that doesn't look at all like a pencil pot?  Reinvent and Upcycle shows us not only how to upcycle a mason jar into a fancy pencil pot but gives us a pretty way to keep our pens from getting lost!


This week's shop feature is super yummy!  Check out these sweet Starburst Headbands from La Alicia:

Upcycled Linky Party {34}

Let's get party #34 started shall we?  Oh wait, let's take a look back at a couple of last week's link ups first.  I just love this DIY project using broken bits of glass bottles from Serendipitini, be sure to check out the Beach Glass Earrings tutorial.


Bug and Boy makes some very interesting updates to her thrift store finds, they are quite the masterpieces.  Check it out:



I love this cute little notebook made from a London Map and matching Monopoly card from MooseInTheMint:

Upcycled Linky Party {33}

Happy Happy New Year everyone! I hope your holiday season was one filled with family, love and laughter...and of course, an upcycled craft or two.  Before the break we saw some sweet upcycled projects the holidays and beyond.  And with the new year, I'm looking forward to lots more projects.  So if you're ready to get your new year craft on, then please read on.

A fantastic way to organize all those to do lists on the fridge would be with these quick and simple wine cork magnets by The Wooden Bee.  (You did resolve to be more organized didn't you?)



This Shattered Glass Frame Wall Art from Reduce, Reuse, Renewed is adorable as is but it would also work with some hearts instead of stars for the upcoming Valentine's holiday.


And this week's shop feature is this Rustic Chalkboard Sign by WaterColoredWindows (everything looks better with a little chalkboard paint, no?):
