Vinyl Record Cake Stand
Go retro with a vinyl record cake stand that can serve as a unique serving piece. Take an old vinyl record and glue a martini or other stemmed glass on the center to make this kitchen classic. Let the glue dry before turning it over and loading it up with a pretty cake.
Wine Cork Décor
Put those old wine corks to good use. Glue wine corks together to make a rustic frame for a photo or mirror. Or, use wine corks to make a coaster or wall hanging in the shape of your favorite state.
Game Piece Coasters
Don’t throw away those broken game boards and Scrabble tiles yet! They can still serve as coasters! Glue game pieces or game boards onto corkboard or wood squares. Use scrabble tiles to personalize it further by spelling out names or words.
Jewelry Magnets
Got broken jewelry collecting dust on the dresser? Turn them into magnets! Single earrings, beads, gems, broaches, and more look pretty as magnets. It’s as easy as gluing them together!
Tin Can Holders
Accessorize empty cans into useful home décor. Washed cans can be painted, covered in cloth or paper, and then decorated with ribbon, string, glitter, or other materials for a pretty pencil holder, utensil holder, or vase. You can also create an herb garden on your windowsill using tin cans. Make a planter out of cans glued or tied together and filled with potting soil.
