Funky Finds for Friday

Good Morning, Happy Friday!

Decided this week to give you a look at Funky Finds. These are things that I found made with unusual supplies. You will see what I mean if you keep on reading. 

Fun with Legos on a Retro Table~ It is always so hard to find a good place for little ones to play with their Legos. If you have one of these old tables or a great thrifty shop, this might be worth a try. I think my little grandchildren would like this. Clever idea!

Porch lights ~ What did we ever do without those little twinkly clear lights? I think of them at Holiday time, be it Christmas or Halloween. but Porch lights made from Mason Jars? Hey, I can do that. Follow the link and you will be able to find the instructions.

Handmade Tin Box Earrings ~  Taking those great little tins that we all have a few, if not a lot of. I love those tins. Especially the old ones. I use them for everything. Popcorn tins hold my ribbon and other trim, old Oreo cookie tins hold my coffee beans, Xmas tins hold my Xmas candy. I just never thought of this. If you follow the link, there is a tutorial to show you how.

Fence Post Pumpkins ~ This one should be easy too. Just have your local hardware store cut the posts for you, buy a little paint, Use stencils if you are like me and can't draw for anything and you have a clever decorations for your front porch.

Recycled beer, wine and liquor bottles turned into useful things. What a great idea! There must be millions of those things thrown away every day! Not something I have the tools or know-how to do but I am very impressed someone came up with this. They are sold at UReflections on etsy. Most are very reasonably priced for what I think must take quite a bit of time to do.

Well, I could keep on going. There were sew many to choose from, I may have to do this again. I know it isn't sewing or knitting but if you love crafting too, maybe there was something of interest. All of the websites in the links are worth a check-out, sew maybe there will something else of interest for you.

Have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!
