I love any
DIY project involving re-upholstery. I mean, how many times have you passed up a thrift store find that had a good shape, but ugly fabric? (Too many for me to count, at least.) This project by
Shelly Lear actually starts with an electrical spool, so it's a good starting point for learning the mechanics of upholstering. Here's the
step-by-step.
Need more storage space for the random stuff in your kitchen? Try these hanging bins made from repurposed loaf tins. Dedicate each for a different grab-and-go item, like utensils. Here's the
how-to.
This was my absolute favorite of all the DIY projects. Here, old cans destined for the recycling bin are joined together to create sculptural open-storage. It would work wonderfully on a wall. And how great would it be with a coat of glossy spray paint? Here's the
how-to.

ReplySure would hate too dust that stack of cans! It would even be worse in the kitchen where it will collect dust and grease!
ReplyThe spray-painted cans looked cool, but the produce will probably spoil if it doesn't get refrigerated. I could see it for nonpershables, though...like pens, hair stuff, etc.
ReplyWell... at least they didnt cover them with Contact paper and put pens in them and call that "new"
ReplyYou COULD bundle some cans together with string or twine etc. and put a plate on top, for varying heights on a buffet table...I would cover the cans with fabric.
