Doing a 30 day challenge upcycling something every day.

Day 1 I repainted the frame on a table I decoupaged. Some of it has my hand painted art work. Cost £2 to do.

Share anything your doing from sewing/ crochet/ knitting to repairing, growing seeds etc
Day 2:

A key box was repainted. Mounted a card sent by an artist.
Day 3:

Washing machine dyes are fab for revamping your wardrobe. My fav is Emerald Green for denims.
Day 4:
Bought a tatty, chipped wooden bowl from @ReviveLeeds for £1

Sanded down. Rubbed in Linseed Oil. Total time: 25 mins.
Day 5: Reuse empty bottles & jars.

Day 14: Fixed the chain on a pendulum
Day 15: Dismantled bunk bed frame used to create a coffee table. Base recycled paint from Seagulls
Day 16: Table covered with fabric left from stool. Finished with perspex which took forever faffing about with cutting & drilling.
Day 17:

Print from @lucky_budgie and pic above is my artwork done on cheap poundland paper & charcoals that were my friend& #39;s late mum& #39;s. And I think she& #39;d approve that they& #39;re cherished and still in use https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💫" title="Dizzy symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Dizzy symbol">
Day 18:

Pin cushion made from Tweed swatch sample book a fabric seller gave me.
Day 19:
Go plastic free with homemade drawstring bags. Great for veg too. Easy to make and a fun project if you& #39;re home schooling.

Using up the last of my elderflower tea picked last midsummer. Benefits include soothing sinuses and flu symptoms.

Check out local foraging walks. Many just ask for a small donation.
Day 22:

Gave our upcycled table a makeover. Emulsion paint then waxed. You don& #39;t need specialist paints.
Day 23:

Got a unit from FB marketplace last year for free. It stank of nicotine when it arrived. Was a sorry sight!
