Upcycling an older craft

Happy New Year! I hope this year is a great one for all of you. Today we are going to transform an old craft that I created on my craft blog. I'm often asked do I reuse my materials when I create a new craft. At times I do. I love upcycling, and reusing older crafts especially if they are reusable and in great condition. I'm taking a craft I created for the 4th of July, and creating a simple hanging design that is perfect for displaying on Valentine's day or even in the Spring time.

Materials

One wooden truck decor

One small bamboo ring

One wooden heart

Floral

Acrylic paint

Hot glue

Optional- floral stickers

Paintbrush

Begin by adding paint to your truck. I decided to repaint my truck white.

Next, apply your acrylic paint to your bamboo ring. Since I am reusing materials, my bamboo ring already had my twine attached to it for hanging.

After, use your hot glue to attach your floral to the back of your truck bed. Once you have done this, take your truck and glue it to your ring using your hot glue.

Once you have added your truck, and floral, take your wooden heart and glue that to your ring. After, take your floral stickers and add them to your truck. Your hanging truck decoration is complete and ready to be displayed. I really love how easy this craft was. It is so easy to upcycle an older craft.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I can't wait to create with you again soon!

DIY Upcycled Sesame Oil Glass Bottle Design

Hello everyone! I hope that all is going well. I've been busy with mom things, and also creating new crafts for all of you. After using the last bit of my sesame oil, I decided I would reuse the glass jar. I love how this jar has a few detailed lines. This craft cost me around $2, and that was just for my floral sticker pack. All other materials I already had on hand. Materials needed Chalk Paint I'm using the colors celery and mineral Craft gems Paintbrush One faux vine Hot glue A few floral stickers Start by taking your empty jar, and pre-washing it. I added my jar to my dishwasher so that it could remove any sesame oil scent that was left inside the jar. After you have washed your glass bottle, and it has dried, take your paintbrush, and apply a few coats of your main color. The color I am using is called celery. You will need to apply around three coats of paint to the glass surface. Once you have added a few coats of paint, allow it to completely dry. Once dry, take y
