Today I’m sharing 9 upcycling ideas to try taken from my weekly Tutorials and Tips link party. Every week I host a link party where bloggers share their current and favorite projects for you to read and gain inspiration! I choose the best projects to be featured, and this month was filled with amazing posts on how to repurpose items. Here are a few of my favorites:
