During this time, many people have been decluttering their homes. But what do you do with your old stuff?
Besides donating and recycling, you can also upcycle!
Upcycling saves items from going into the landfill. Sadly, ~728,000 pounds of trash are produced in American daily (source: saveonenergy.com)
We can help minimize the trash by responsibly dealing with our belongings
Give items new life by painting them anew. Here's some upcycling DIY ideas to inspire!
Item One: A Simple Tier Stand
I painted the tier stand white to match my room and am currently using it to hold plants!
Item Two: Cactus-Themed Pencil Sharpener
To make the surface flat I took some modeling clay to smooth over the face. Then I painted a little cactus design on with three different colors (dark mint green for the base color, mint green stripes, then white pinstripes)
I hope this inspires you guys and helps upcycling/decluttering. Have fun!
