💡 5 Unexpected Upcycling Ideas to Try
-
Orchid Clips → Hair Accessories
Yup. They grip so well and look cute while doing it. -
Empty Candle Jars → Cotton Round Holders
Just clean them out with hot water and coconut oil. Perfect for bathroom storage. -
Yogurt Container Lids → Paint Palettes for Kids (or Nail Polish)
So easy to clean and saves from disposable palettes. -
Old T-Shirts → Reusable Cleaning Rags
Cut into squares and use instead of paper towels. Plus, they’re free. -
Broken Jewelry → DIY Zipper Pulls or Gift Embellishments
Give those beads and charms a second life.
