Repurposing Old Items to Treasures

As the crisp autumn air arrives and the leaves start to change, it’s the perfect time to do some creative projects.  


As a designer and artist, I love to add unique and interesting objects to my space. I also love to combine my passion for repurposing items and giving them a “new life”. A great way to start is by shopping around your house. Is there an item that needs refurbishment, a storage bin you’ve been meaning to sift through, or something that you don’t know what to do with but can’t bring yourself to get rid of? 


This autumn, why not take a sustainable approach by repurposing old items into delightful fall decorations?  Here are some imaginative ways that I have turned forgotten treasures into new creative wonders: 


Earrings → Magnets: I recently bought a magnetic white board for my office and thought it needed some personality.  So I rummaged through my supplies and found these lovely costume earrings and transformed them into magnets.


Blue bucket with Mums:  These vintage buckets are so fun and add a lot of character. Place a plant or some flowers inside and you’ve instantly got a unique and interesting planter.



Project Board: To keep my work projects organized (and fun to look at), I created a project board out of an old piece of framed art. I loved the frame so I painted it black and added decorative poster paper for the background.


Repurposing old items into fun projects  not only gives them a new purpose but also adds a unique, personalized touch to your items. By embracing creativity and sustainability, you can transform everyday objects into cherished treasures. Gather your materials, let your imagination run wild, and enjoy crafting a cozy, autumn-inspired home that celebrates both the season and the art of repurposing.


Happy repurposing, and enjoy all the autumn magic this season has to offer!
