Talk about going from drab to fab! I love this upcycle project. Take a set of old metal folding chairs, paint them a fresh color and cover the seats with fun fabric. Imagine how much fun these would be to set up for your next party. For complete upcyle directions check out punk projects. Happy Upcycling, Jill

Here is a great video from the folks at www.permies.com. This free tutorial outlines the steps for turning an old refrigerator or freezer into a food dehydrator. We love this idea! I have tried a few homemade solar dehydrators but they didn’t really work because of humidity. This appears to take care of that problem and prevents the purchase of a new dehydrator while keeping an old appliance out of the land fill.      

The snow is flying here but I am ready for spring! Check out this free tutorial for upcycling egg cartons into a beautiful flower wreath. The colors are so pretty and vivid. Once again, another great project for all ages. Get the complete tutorial here.
