I covered these cans with air drying clay. Before I colored the clay with food color (nothing else was at home). After drying, I embellished them with gold foil (metal, not real gold:-)). Finish was a matt clear coat.
Voila - the upcycled flower vases

I wasn’t going to post any more macros from the paper theme from Monday, but after a bit of reprocessing that transformed a couple of the more mundane shots I decided to at least let this one out in the wild. It’s a curled piece of Post-It note.
HMBT!

For 120 pictures in 2020 #111 "Upcycled", This garden ornament is made from recycled scrap metal. It is fairly old and in desperate need of repainting, but it still stands ready to remove garden pests from our plants (this is an aloe vera our neighbor gave us - still need to make a proper garden plot for it).
The theme for this week is Wabi-sabi. A Japanese term for beauty in imperfection and impermanence, especially in the natural world (as I understand it).
This is the remains of a bicycle that was once abandoned in the woods. The tree grew around it, enveloping the mechanism. Unfortunately, the rest of the bike recently vanished, leaving only the crankset.
A 2nd hand jacket that I have customised with bits of fabric and yarn, and finished off with my own handmade buttons.
My grandma's old kettle put to a new use

it started 2007 with the art project of my friends "Gastplätze" www.maboart.ch/archiv/Doku_gem/gastplatz.htm and ended 2020 with shoppers and bags, my friend made out of the panels.

As the Flaneur With A Camera stood composing this photograph, made with a Leica M5 and 50mm Summicron and Ilford Delta 400 film, the words of John Lennon spun unexpectedly through is mind, "...I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go..."

....the conversion of a stable block of an old mansion (long since demolished and built on) makes for an unique home in the city of Bristol.
What can you do with unwanted CDs? I used to hang them on strings around the veggie patch as bird scarers. But here they have been made into a dress!
I made some fun baby blankets from vintage bed spread and bed linens. The colors were just so much fun!

Do you have a birdcage lying around and taking up space? Turn it into a hanging garden! LJA from "All Things Plants" has turned this old birdcage into a nice hanging succulent garden!

Responding to the central idea of their unit of inquiry: 'living things cannot survive if we do not take action', the children wanted to re-use waste and natural materials in their explorations in the atelier. They explored different ways to re-use waste paper from the school office to make "marbol paper" (through the marbling process) and using pigment inks. They also decided to make the following out of clay, wire, beads and twigs from the garden:
"a necklis"
"a bralislet"
and a "tree for (hanging your glasses and) gelri" (jewellery) on..
Reclamation Blanket: You get a lot done when you can't go anywhere.
ETA: I feel this deserves/requires an explanation to qualify as upcycled... Every color is a "sample" from a yarn company to see how their colors look in person. The yarn shop I worked for had this set and when it closed, my boss gave this to me.
Since most colors are about 20 yards or less, some crafters would have tossed them - it means a lot of ends being woven in, as opposed to starting with some new, big skeins with just a handful of ends.

This newspaper hat proves that a joyful costume can be made out of anything. Instead of throwing away the egg carton, newspaper, and artificial flowers, one can make herself a Sunday hat!

Cleaning out the closets can be fruitful, not only selling things on Ebay but repurposing. I never cared for this dress as a swing-sundress, but with a few alterations, I love it as a wiggle dress,
Another of the upcycled creations of Donald. It's a model chainsaw using a piece of original 'Oregon' chain and all sorts of other bits of steel from the scrap-heap!
This is in serious contention for the Upcyled World Cup so there is a strong chance Donald will win back his own creation!
I have shown this project here on Flickr before, but am just blogging it now :)
