Wine Bottle Vases
Wine bottles can be turned into vases simply by removing the labels. Soak the bottles in warm soapy water to remove the labels. Once clean, aside from painting or decorating them with acrylic paints, you can also leave the glass clear for a minimalist look. Cluster them together, then pop in some fresh or dried flowers for a dramatic centerpiece.
Mason Jar Organizers
The possibilities for home décor with mason jars are endless. It can act as a rugged organizer in your kitchen or bath. Fasten jars to a wooden board with hose clamps for use as a wall-mounted organizer. They can be used to grip utensils, makeup brushes and fresh herbs. You can also paint the jars to add some flair.
Tin Can Lanterns
Transform tin cans into delightful lanterns. The first step is washing and peeling labels off the cans. Fill them with water and freeze; the frozen contents prevents the can from bending when you hit it. After your mold is frozen, punch holes into it in the design of your choice using a nail. Spray paint the cans and set a tea light inside for a warm glow.
Pallet Wood Shelves
One of my favorite sources for rustic wood are old pallets. Break down the pallet and use the wood slats to build shelves. Sand the wood for a smooth finish, then use brackets to mount the boards on the wall. Due to their design, these shelves can be used for displaying plants, books or decorative items and give a natural touch to every room.
Fabric Scrap Wall Art

Turn cardboard into chic picture frames. Cut the cardboard into the shapes of the frames you’d like, then paint or cover with decorative paper, fabric or washi tape. Bring the frames together and slide your favorite photos in. They are lightweight frames that are easy to hang and customize.

Make glittering mosaic coasters out of old CDs. Use scissors to cut the CDS into small pieces (be careful of sharp edges). Create a mosaic pattern by gluing the pieces to a coaster base like cork or an old coaster. 2DD: Seal with resin or a clear spray paint for durability.
Plastic Bottle Planters
Empty plastic bottles can be upcycled into special planters. Cut the bottle and decorate it with paint or fabric. Scour the bottom with small holes for drainage, then fill it with soil and your preferred plant. These planters are great for small indoor plants or herbs.
Cork Board Wall
A wall board made both functional and decorative with a collection of old wine corks. Glue wine corks in a herringbone or brick pattern onto a sturdy backing (such as plywood). This cork board is perfect for tacking up notes, pictures or recipes and will add a warm, textured accent to any wall.
