DIY: Repurposed Decor


Repurposed Decor


Today, I thought I would share a few photos of some decorative wall items
 made from repurposed materials. 

As a crafter, I seem to always have odd bits and bobs on hand. Which often leaves me with the dilemma of what to do with them all? I hate the idea of throwing away items that still have some life in them. Repurposing is a great way to make the useless into honest, useful items.


My favorite way to repurpose old doorknobs is to use them as wall hangers.  These wall hangers can be used to store jackets and hats, or to organize jewelry in the bedroom, or even aprons in the kitchen.



Old kitchen cabinet doors, a bit of wood trim, 

and some paint help to create these wall hangers. 

Hanging hardware was installed on the back side. 







I really love using old cabinet doors to create signs, too. Below is a laundry room decorative sign made from an old cabinet door, fabric, string, mini clothes pins, and ribbon.  I brushed the ribbon with Modge Podge to make them lie flat. Hanger hardware was installed on the back side.
