Reduce, reuse, recycle - we like the sound of this motto, don't you? Recycling stuff is awesome, but actually repurposing your old stuff and garbage into something new and useful is even more awesome! We love to write about DIY projects, especially the ones with recycling ideas (check out one of our older posts here), so if you're looking for any creative ideas for reusing your old stuff, this is the post for you! From plastic bottles to scrap metal and bicycle parts - there isn't a thing that cannot be upcycled.

If you have a good idea for recycling stuff into something new and useful, add it to this list – bonus points if it's something you came up with or repurposed yourself!

    Looks like it fits right in with the decor of the room but wouldn't work everywhere unless you jazzed it up a bit.

    Who said it's about whether it's easier to buy or make? It's about the aesthetic appeal. Y'know... art. What a concept.

    I understand the idea, but personally I find it a bit tacky. Must fit well in a trailer park, though.

You belong with me You belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself Hey, isn't this easy? And you've got a smile That can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while Since she brought you down You say you're fine, I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears hi

    What store was it stolen from? By the time those are trashed, they are ready for the recycle bin to get melted down.
