Our challenge for August was to upcycle beauty product packaging. Most of us have mountains of grooming aids in eye-catching containers that end up in the trash. Why not find ways to make something beautiful out of what keeps us beautiful?
We had enthusiastic responses that brought in great ideas.
My three favorites were:
Rinnovato's shampoo bottle vase...
more photos available: Rinnovato's Facebook album.
La Gagiandra's apple ornament from a toothpaste tube...
Fairy Tale Fiber's belt buckle from a make-up compact...
Honorable mentions to
Sweet Someday's shipping station from hair product and pill bottles...
See her blog post for more details!
The Salvaged Edge's tribal pendant...
Rinnovato's second shampoo bottle...
See how Rinnovato did it here. AND she even used her leftover scraps to make earrings!
At my end, I upcycled a brooch and created embroidery hoop art with Vitamin C face capsules: www.scrollwork.blogspot.com
Bravo, everyone!
