My mission is to inspire crafters to rethink the things they throw away by sharing unique and creative ways to use these seemingly valueless materials. This channel is about Upcycling unwanted and discarded items, in an endeavor to uncover their hidden value.
I love the creative process of making tangible things with my hands. And truly believe that crafting is therapy. It doesn't have to be expensive and it should be accessible to anyone with the desire to make something.
I enjoy the experimental process of transforming inexpensive and free materials into something new, better and maybe even beautiful.
Thanks for stopping by.

Wow. Amazing tutorial. Thank you.
Why don't u leave them like they were there cool
Love this idea! Thanks for another great idea!
ua-cam.com/users/shortsNgpMziAJw44?si=dNVaiIaJfcsDY5-Y Hi Cindy - I am attempting sending this to you again.
I think alcohol would work better maybe the 99% if the 50% doesn't work. Or vinegar, mineral spirits, or a Borax solution. With steam, try turning the flat ones upside down and don't overlap. I think most of the printing is something akin to dye sublimation. I know it fades in sunlight over time, or maybe it's the weather that wears it off.
Thanks for watching and for all the info. 🙂
Sorry have way
Good tips I have aprons and light fabric pieces need to gave way to display them so can be seen better?
Thanks for watching. Do you have a mannequin or dress form to display one of your aprons? You could also try displaying your aprons on a cardboard t-shirt shape. I think you can find them at craft stores with the tie die supplies. 🙂
Thanks for doing the testing for us. I think that I might put out the word to younger family members. They tend to try newer drinks out there. Ask them to let me know if they find brands with shrink wrap labels. Thanks again.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks for watching. That's a good idea. Good luck. 🙂
What would chemicals like E-Z Off Oven Cleaner do to it? You could do it outside in your yard to avoid fuming up your home.
I don't know but it's an interesting question? I may have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea. 🙂
@@UpcycleDesignLab I'm sure you have to watch out for the fumes! And for the love of God, wear rubber gloves, too!!! I'd hate to cost the crafting world one of its brightest stars.
I'm sure I have done more dangerous things than sniff oven cleaner but thanks for your concern. 🤣🤣🤣
The Voodoo Ranger can art looks too good to scrub off. I staple metal panels with cool images onto small wood boxes and stack them to make shelving in my bathroom. I have cubbyholes sized for nail polish to hair spray cans, so there's a special place for everything. The Arizona Green Tea art looks especially lovely.
I like the Arizona tee cans as well they are pretty but I don't drink much tea. The Voodoo Ranger is one of my husband's favorites so there are plenty of can where that one came from. 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching 😊
I have used the Instant pot and it works ! I don't remember what and how long. But I seem to remember finding instructions online. This was like 2016 or so I'm sure it's out there in the interwebs. I was trying to remove the paint from Altoids tins, I was NOT successful with the Altoids tin. 😬🤷
Interesting thank you for watching and for sharing your information and experience. 🙂
I love that table top. Did you make it? If so, did you make a video on it? I'd love to recreate such a thing.
Hi Barb - Here is a link to the tutorial for the aluminum can counter top. Thanks for watching 😊 ua-cam.com/video/9GI0vYLynfM/v-deo.htmlsi=0QCTn5qP7PLhtAqn
🤩 thank you
Thanks for watching 😊
What do you do with the aluminum?
Hi I have made a lot of different projects with aluminum cans but the one project that I make which requires and aluminum can without print is this dragonfly project. ua-cam.com/video/I6tKHzWioU4/v-deo.htmlsi=Ui4MLSwS7oilE4no
Love those! ❤️💜💚
Thanks Paige 😊
Would White Spirit work better than fingernail polish remover?
Sorry I am not familiar with white spirit so I can't give you an answer.
The steamer method looks easier than the Brillo one but I use my Instant Pot for food. I don’t like the idea of getting some ink in my I.P. ☹️
You still have to put some effort into removing the ink so nothing is coming off in the IP. I've used my Instant Pot with zero issue.
I agree that there is no ink transfer to the pressure cooker. But of course it is a personal choice. 🙂
What is a Brillo Pad? Sorry, I’m watching from Europe.
It's wire wool infused with soap for scrubbing pots and other things.
Thanks 😊 @rebaschweitzer8847
its repujado
Yes I do use an embossing tool. 🙂
Love these! ❤️💜💚
Thanks 😊
You have just saved my life.
I can't imagine how. But I am happy to hear that. 🙂
I have watched your first vid several times and now this one. Yes, seems much easier! You are so clever, Cindy. 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks bunches 🙂
Thank you for this.Only just found you.Loving the videos i have watched. !!
Welcome! Thanks for watching. If you like crafting with aluminum cans I have a lot of projects on my channel. ua-cam.com/play/PLrO021b6nBBQBrxgw0q8QL5d-fPpFDI0Z.html&si=s7iZTRf26UB4qIpf
Very nice. I loved your attention to detail in regards to your Botanical accuracy. Your use of your round nosed pliers to create the petal undulations was especially excellent.
Thanks 😊
a length of yarn coated in paraffin wax acts as a good wick. also, dab melted wax at the base of the birthday candle to hold it upright
Wow it's beautiful 2:20
Thanks for watching 😊
Would never put all that in my oven, especially for 2 hours. Your not even suppose to put clay in reg oven. Those clamps really through me off!!!
