The hype around upcycling never ends. Using creative ideas to transform waste products into new products is a lot of fun. And protects the environment. We can particularly design our interior design very individually. We have the best tips for your home workshop here for you.
Transform discarded Euro pallets into furniture
From a sofa to a sun lounger: almost any piece of furniture can be made from Euro pallets. Behind the pallets are uniform transport aids that are discarded by the sales companies after some time of use. The wood they are made of usually has a beautiful used look. Just too good to throw away.
Euro pallets are also extremely stable. With the right tools – for exampleon this pagecan be found - you can use them in the workshop, garage or on the terrace as well as anyMake a piece of furniture: From theShoe rackto the dining table, from the bed to the sofa - there are no limits to creative DIY.

Flower pots for the garden made from plastic bottles and cans
Plastic is one of the biggest environmental pollutants in the world. There are now deposits for most plastic bottles. The rest, however, continue to go into the trash. Normally. As transparent outdoor flower pots, they create a wonderful overall picture on a wall in the garden. To do this, cut several bottles open on one side and attach them horizontally to the wall at regular intervals from one another. Soil and plants in, done. In addition to plastic bottles, cans are also ideal as flower pots, which can also be attached directly to a wall or dangled from a string.
DIY art:Upcycling with paint and brushes
With a brush and a little paint you can transform supposed waste into stylish new home accessories. Why throw away your grandmother's old porcelain when you can paint it as a creative DIY enthusiast and breathe new life into it? And it's not just porcelain that can be painted...
NeuerPurpose of usefor old tomes
Do you have tomes piling up? Books are too good to throw away, but they are finding fewer and fewer buyers at the flea market. Only upcycling can help: Thick, bound books make wonderful caskets and sewing boxes - and as secret compartments for children. To do this, simply cut out a few pages with the cutter in your home workshop so that an edge remains. If you want, you can paint afterwards. This looks chic and ensures durability. Another idea: Stack several books on top of each other and glue them together well - this makes a great base for a glass table.
