Walking around my neighborhood I’ve noticed that it must be moving season. Old couches, tables, and chairs are strewn about the alleys making a DIY paradise. With a little love and elbow grease, you can give these discarded pieces a fresh start!
Altoids tins are one of those icons of upcycling. Even folks who aren’t into crafting often reuse these handy containers for things like storing change or organizing small knick knacks. With a little bit of crafty love, you can turn that humble container into all sorts of fun creations!

Hi there! I'm Becky Striepe, a green crafter and vegan foodie living in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two cats. My mission is to make eco-friendly crafts and vegan food accessible to anyone who wants to give them a go.
Hello! My name is Bonnie Getchell and overall, I'm a craft nerd! I love making crafts, re-doing furniture, and anything along those lines. I especially love creating items that are from recycled materials like toilet paper rolls, bottles, etc. There are so many items that can be transformed and repurposed into something beautiful!
If you would like to see more of my work, I also have my own craft blog called Revolutionaries (http://bonniegetchell.blogspot.com).
I'm the lucky momma of two little blonde daddy-clones--we spend our days doing elaborate art projects, trashing the house, eating cheese cubes and oranges, and waiting for my partner to get home from his day job so we can pester him. When I'm off-duty, I drink coffee and make junk out of other junk. Why buy my kid a pair of panties for $3 when I can spend four hours figuring out how to make it out of an old T-shirt I got for free? Trust me, it really is fun. Visit my blog at www.craftknife.blogspot.com or my etsy shop at www.pumpkinbear.etsy.com for more of my awesomeness.
