Upcycling is a recent trend which involves transforming unused products into something usable and often more beautiful than before. This is helpful for the environment but it can also be used to create fun and interesting pieces for a child’s bedroom and is a fun DIY project for children too. By using old furniture and customising it into a completely, you can create new and original pieces.
Build a bed
If you set aside some time and use toddler sized palettes, you can create a platform bed for your child’s room. This is a great way to get creative whilst making something completely worthwhile too. Doing this allows you to choose which colours to paint the palettes so it may be a good idea to choose a colour that you know your kids will love.
Décor Books
Use books as décor in your child’s room. Books have a way of bringing creativity, colour and life into a room which is why so many people enjoy displaying them in fun and unique ways. They are ideal for a kid’s bedroom, plus who knows, it may even get the kids reading!
Transform a Chair
Instead of simply throwing out an old chair why not take this opportunity to re-vamp it a little? Chairs have fantastic upcycling potential and can be easily transformed by simply painting them and changing the seat cover. You can make it more personal and create your own seat cover or hand paint a fun design on the chair itself. Spend some creative time on this project with your little ones and the result will be worth it!
Storage it Up
Children come with a lot of baggage…quite literally. They have tons of toys lying about their rooms with nowhere for them to go, which is why it is a great idea to come up with more storage space for them. You can completely transform an old ottoman for instance or even use a suitcase as a sort of treasure chest to store all of your child’s favourite things.
Covering Furniture with Wallpaper
Another popular way to upcycle furniture is to use wallpaper with colourful patterns on it; a great way to add some colour and creativity to your child’s room. Doing this will instantly add extra life into the room and spruce up any old dreary pieces of furniture. You can try this project on chairs, old desks or even chests of drawers!
Upcycling furniture in your child’s bedroom offers the opportunity to get creative and is a great family activity for the kids to help out. Try upcycling your furniture and you will be surprised by what you can do with a little bit of imagination!
Rather than ending up on the roadside, these now decorate the rumpus room. (I did not drink all these).
A rusted old bike, presumably recovered from one of Dordrecht's many canals, now has an interesting second life as a garden ornament.

A friend of mine gave me the idea to start turning my many extra Monster High brushes into people sized accessories! Here are the first few things I made from them, a few more photos over at Dolly Daydream, I'll be updating that page with new things as I make them too!
the things you can do with mismatched furniture never ceases to amaze me!. Especially the little round side table from the '70s.

So it was raining the whole day today, and I crocheted japanese pattern or actually Elisabeth Cat's version of popular japanese pattern flowers from medium weight wool. The fabric for the cushion is upcycled wool sweater and I stuffed it with wool roving, that was not felting very well, but as a stuffing it is perfect.
You can find the tutorial here byelizabethcat.blogspot.com/2011/02/i-make-my-japanese-fl...

I have a passion for taking dresses that are heading to the landfill and reinventing them. I started a facebook page called discardedcouture and got such a great response, I started making dresses fulltime. I sell them on Esty. The store is called discardcouture.
I hope to inspire generations to come that you don't have to buy new and consume. Find your own unique style.

I was at the Braw Wee Fair in Glasgow's Barras Market and run in to a big guy I met while I worked at the Commonwealth Games. His full time job is now taking reclaimed materials meant for landfill and turning them into awesome hand-worked pieces of useful furniture and ornaments.
Gideon's class craft for the school fundraiser: We had the kids make bugs out of recycled materials then we tagged and mounted them.
They gave their bugs names which we translated into Latin and they listed where they "found" them.
