Upcycling is the new cycle!

Since moving to Eastern Sydney I have found heaps of things on trash day that can be given a new lease life. Now before you get an image of me sifting through people's bins like a bum I'm more referring to those big collection days they do twice a year where you can get rid of your larger items. Most things just need a new coat of paint and a bit of creativity. I find Paddington is a great suburb to go scouting in and they have dates of these collection days on their council website. If you're not feeling lucky ebay is always good for bargains.


Ebay chairs for $1.


Bird fabric $10 from ebay, can of high gloss black paint from Bunnings $25.



Branch made of coat hanger wire + bandage material, birds from ebay, flowers from japanese paper.

Wooden fruit repainted.
