Sometimes I like to go "shopping" at home for items to alter. You would be surprised at the fun stuff you can find if you really "explore" your home. Here are 9 ways to give a new lease of life to household items.
1. Make a two-way board with packaging sponge, old denim fabric and a piece of wood. You can pin your fave photos and use a chalkboard marker to write notes.
2. An old frying pan makes a fun decor piece for the kitchen. :)
3. Glass pieces from old lighting can be reworked into a pretty glass container for pens.
4. An old frame can be "beautified" to a display piece for photos and little notes.
5. An old storage unit gets a makeover with leftover lace, buttons, vellum, chipboard, paint and tassels.
6. The hardware from old lighting can make a statement on your mixed media canvas.
7. Decorated mini alcohol bottles look great on display.
8. An old loofah brush can an awesome base for an altered project.

Eight and four are my favorites. I can totally see making a curtained picture frame for a theater buff or turning a loofah brush into a bathroom photo display. Thanks for the awesome 3D inspirations.
I really enjoyed looking back on these wonderful art works of yours.....the elctrical/computer bits on the canvas one is still a firm fave.... I think it's cos it looks SOOO not like that at all! Such a joy seeing how your mind thinks for creating outta the box. V clever!!!
