In honor of Earth Day 2018 I’m sharing 2 of my most popular Upcycled projects WITH complete Picture Tutorials!!  Each tutorial shows in a series of step by step photo’s exactly how to make each of the items.  Both are easy DIY projects and require minimal supplies.  Earth Day is all about Repurposing, Recycling and Reusing items that may be ready for discarding.  Why not try to give them new life in another way instead of donating them or sending them to the landfill?  I’m also sharing a BONUS tutorial from our bloggy friend over at Easy Peasy Creative on how to use rope to make perfect handles for her DIY Tote Bag!  Check her out!!

The first one is The Flower Power Purse made from a pair of denim jeans.

The  second is a Christmas Tree Skirt repurposing a set of holiday inspired placemats.

Here’s the BONUS Tutorial I promised on how to create a Rope Handle Tote Bag!!  She takes you step by step showing how to create this useful bag.  

I hope you’ll give both of these projects a try or they inspire you to create your own items from something you may be discarding.
