Instagram - my journey on upcycling

. . One of the simplest Christmas decorations ever.... . Now with the “purple madness” (theme for our new restaurant at work, silver and purple) over, I can move on to other things... or maybe I will just sit back, relax and enjoy the Christmasy atmosphere... . #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #simplechristmasdecor #cinnamondecoration #creativity #christmasiscoming

. . These are the last batch of Christmas decorations I made for the new restaurant at work. . The theme is silver and purple with the latter being our corporate colour. Apart from the usual garlands and baubles, I made some wire wreaths for one big wall... . There are 11 wire wreaths with 2 big ones having a second wire hoop in them, so there were 13 hoops all together. I only showcase a few here and hope you like them. . The rosettes and stars are from toilet rolls spray-painted in silver... . #christmasdecor #christmaswreath #christmaswiredecorations #upcycling #upcycle #toiletpaperrollcrafts #madebyhand #creativity #wirewreaths #silverandpurplechristmas #upcyclingideas #upcycler #christmasdecorations #升級再造 #聖誕裝飾 #聖誕佈置

. . Simple rustic wire work Christmas decorations... . Getting these ready for the new restaurant at work was not too difficult as the team helped me get the rustic wire hoops and stars ready and they also help cut the stars from toilet rolls before they were spray-painted. All I had to do was to print the little tags using paper off-cuts before putting in my creative juices to dress the wire hoops and stars. . #upcycle #upcycling #upcyclingideas #creativity #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #handmadechristmas #madebyhand #christmascrafts #greencrafts #sustainability #sustainableliving #wastenot #toiletpaperrollcrafts #toiletpaperroll #升級再造 #環保愛地球 #聖誕裝飾 #手工藝

. . I made one single snowflake using toilet roll for the tree at work because I was not into them this Christmas but my little helper from the Maintenance Department who did the silver spray paint for me disagreed. He said I should made more and he would spray them gold for me so I made 3 more based on his special request. I think he did a great job! . . #upcycle #upcycling #upcycledart #upcycledcrafts #christmascrafts #christmasornaments #christmasdecor #madebyhand #toiletroll #toiletrollcraft #greencrafts #creativity #snowflakecraft #wastenot #salvagedcrafts #升級再造 #聖誕裝飾
