Instagram - my journey on upcycling

. I moved to a new city to start a new job 6 months ago. Hence, I have been very quiet on the creative front these last few months. . Eventhough with limited tools and materials, I still want to make my now small living quarters feel homely. I had a small glass jar with stubborn label glue so I decided to just cover it up and use it as a vase for a small plant. . Nothing fancy and it was almost a cheat... I covered it up with one and a half toilet paper rolls and added some jute string. The finishing touch was a scrap of butcher string. . #upcycling #upcycledcraft #upcycler #sustainableliving #greencrafts #sustainability #upcycle #upcycled

. How to salvage a stained silk blouse . Some time ago a good friend ran to me and asked if I could do anything about a favourite beaded silk blouse of hers that was stained with mascara by a careless and unapologetic cosmetic salesgirl. I kept the blouse for a long time and eventually got round to work on it last weekend. . Upon close scrutiny, I realised there were other stains too - oil stains near one of the armholes, front and back and something looked like blood stains on the bottom of the blouse. There were loosened and missing beads as well... . I did all the necessary and added embroidery. No complicated works, only simple daisies to cover all the stains. I added a few more daisies here and there to give a more balanced look. What do you think? . #embroidery #refashion #creativity #embroideredflowers #rescuedclothing #salvagefashion #weekendproject

showcasing an old upcycling project - I found a discarded wooden stand at my parents’ and with some help later, I have a small table perfect for my small kitchen #upcycle #upcycling #upcycled #upcycledfurniture #upcyclers #sustainability #sustainableliving #reuse #repurposedfurniture #greenlife #wastenot #creativity
