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!

ReplyDeleteI was just looking at a vintage car similar to yours and trying to decide whether or not to keep it. You've definitely convinced me I need to recycle it!
