    Bling, Recycle, Upcycle, Vintage....words associated with today's DIYs. You can't look at these projects without saying, "Why didn't I think of that?" I bet you have at least a few items in your junk drawer, garage, workshop, or wherever, used in these creations. Take a look....

    1. RECYCLED HARDWARE NECKLACE HANGER

    Necklace Hanger for the Wall

    This little upcycle project was such fun and it reminded me of how much I enjoy putting old junk stuff together to make something unique. As usual, the project took a few twists and turns such as a change of hangers (more than once), but I'm happy as a pig in mud with the way the necklace holder turned out.

    2. DIY BIRD FEEDER REPURPOSE IDEA

    DIY Bird Feeder Project Idea

    Make a bird feeder using vintage tea cups and an iron candle holder

    The candle holder was my inspiration piece. It is made out of iron and has pretty teardrop crystals. The candle holder came from my favorite junk shop, and the cost was $2, so it was a deal.

    How to decorate blue and green bottles with old jewelry

    It’s fun and easy to decorate glass bottles with old jewelry. I take some of my junk jewelry stash out of hiding and add them to colorful bottles I pick up at thrift stores or flea markets! I can’t tell you how much I love these bling bottles.

    4. DIY MAGNETS MADE WITH VINTAGE KEYS AND OLD HARDWARE

    You can make vintage key magnets in 10 minutes or less. I went through my stash of antique keys and put together the refrigerator magnets. The project took no more than 10 minutes and I had all this free time so I went on the hunt for more stuff.

    6. Upcycled Candle Holder

    The upcycled lamp parts candle holder is actually a muti-purpose piece. It would make a great Valentine's Day candy dish. Or it could be used to display faux succulents. I have 3 different styles of lamp parts in my stash of treasures and I show you how to use all three in various ways.

    The birdhouse was a sad-looking thing when I found it at a local flea market. The weathered wood was perfect though and I could see the potential.

    This might sound a bit scary to some people, but replacing something like the RAM in your laptop is very simple. If you have concerns, watch a "how to" video on YouTube. One person confesses they saw a Best Buy ad for this service, which would cost someone $80! Instead, it took them just a few minutes to do it themselves.
