5 Upcycling ideas for home decor

Turn your bottle into flower vase

Generally, we throw away empty glass bottles and jars. However, they can be turned into beautiful home decor pieces. You can use empty bottles to make a table lamp, showpiece, or flower vase. By using coloured papers or old magazine pages or by colouring them, it can be used for home decor purposes.

Use old bed sheets as curtains

The old bed sheets available in the houses can be used to create curtains. You can choose bed sheets that have patterns, varied colours, and shades to make perfect curtains for your homes.

Pen holder from old bangles

What one does do with old bangles? They are certain times kept unused. These colourful bangles can be used to create pen holders. One just needs to cut the cardboard to the size of a bangle to make a base. Take six or eight bangles and apply glue to stack them one above another. Leave it to dry and then it is ready to use.

Recycle saris to make mats

Beautiful old sarees with attractive designs, embroidery and brocades can be utilised to make table mats and coverings. Simply cut an old embroidered saree, add a contrasting border, and spread it across the table.

Old tea and coffee mugs that are lying in your kitchens can be utilised beautifully. You can choose from your favourite fragrance, such as lemongrass, mint, or lemon, along with some wax. Just carefully melt the wax and add the fragrance to the cup, along with a wick at the centre. And with this method, you can create many stunning candle holders for your rooms.
