Light Bulb Terrariums

Up Cycling

This was one of the most simple and resourceful ideas we found online. We found an amazing pin off of Pinterest!  Check out this great article on how to make this step by step.

You can turn those light bulbs that have burnt out into tiny little terrariums! All the components you need can be found in your home and in your nearest Wal-Mart. Include some moss, stones, and a cool piece of yarn to hang your light bulb and you have got a really nice accent to your home! This project is fun and cost effective.

Pallet Coffee Table

Up Cycling

 

People are using pallets for different projects around the home. Everything from creating a pallet wall in your living room, to picture frames, to gates, they are the multi-purpose item. We found a really great project that uses old pallets to create a mobile coffee table. Grab a fresh coat of paint and some wheels from your local hardware store and create a versatile and stylish coffee table for your living room.
