5 ways to restyle t-shirts. My latest blog post for the Sally Ann blog. Here are 5 ways to restyle an old or secondhand t-shirt. Restyling or upcycling old t-shirts is super easy and there's so much you can do with a torn or dated 'T'. Just because you don't or can't wear them anymore doesn't mean it's time to toss them out. And you can always find a funky top at your local Salvation Army Thrift Store that has tons of potential for getting crafty with. Use fabric paint or bleach to create a design. This ...

Thrifty By Design | Crafting & Upcycling
http://www.thriftybydesign.ca/crafting_upcycling.html
There's nothing like crafting 'masterpieces'! As a way of disconnecting from technology, I started making 'things' by either refinishing furniture, sewing creations with my 1950s Singer sewing machine or making gifties for friends and family. Find more photos at www.flickr.com/photos/thriftybydesign. I've always been a garage sale and thrift store junky but when I moved to the Sunshine Coast I found the most awesomest finds at the Sechelt dump. And Gibsons Recycling Depot. Those were the days! I've carri...
Thrifty By Design | About TBD
http://www.thriftybydesign.ca/about_tbd.html
I ♥ my Singer. It may be old but it's darn trusty. It keeps working and working AND working. The belt and the plug were replaced but otherwise I haven't spent much more than my initial $10 investment and I've put a lot of mileage on it. I started my blog. Over the years TBD has become one big crafty adventure - I've given numerous upcycling workshops, written DIYs for my blog and other online publications, been on TV and radio. And I just authored a crafty book called Raw Crafts: 40 Projects from Hem...

Turning ugly earrings into swanky buttons. Remember these big wood earrings from the gigantic garage sale I went to a couple of weeks ago? Well I decided to turn them into funky buttons this week. First was sanding the surface and removing the design. I then painted some of the shapes different colours while leaving some spots au natural - those areas I added oil to in order to bring out the grain. And here they are done! But they are darn cute and funsie! Posted by Thrifty By Design. 0 Write a Comment.

Giftie for one of my FAV BFFs. This weekend I took a bit of time on Saturday to make a birthday gift for one of my most favourite BFFs. Remember these clip on earrings I repurposed? Two into a pair of regular earrings. Alas I lost one of the earrings and decided to update the lone earring into a ring for my BFF's birthday. Here are the earrings from when I repurposed them the first time. These turned out perfectly. And unfortunately one went missing. I first glued the ring and clip on earring together.

Daily dose of culture culture365. Championing Arts and Culture in BC. April 2nd, 2015. Denise gave her very first upcycling workshop or Crafternoon as part of Culture Days in 2012. It was an awesome experience and started me on an amazing path. I love the idea of Culture Days and with the experience I had in 2012, it seemed appropriate to apply and be the cheerleader for BC Culture Days, said Corcoran. Corcoran was active in promoting Culture Days through her Thrifty By Design. A spoken word event hosted...

There's nothing more fun and fulfilling than taking something that's been discarded and turning it into something fabulous. Whether it's from the dump, the thrift store or even your recycle bin - the possibilities are endless! I've always been a garage sale and thrift store junky but when I moved to the Sunshine Coast I found the most awesomest finds at the Sechelt dump. And Gibsons Recycling Depot. Those were the days! 1 chairs, $4 dressers. Books, home decor items. You name it, they had it!
