If you have inherited Grandma's old jewelry and not into wearing vintage pieces you can celebrate them by turning them into a clever Christmas decoration using an old picture frame, black velvet around an inner cardboard layer and pin or glue the pieces to the velvet.
This unique creation is from Art by Dirt and would be perfect for any Harley lover but as it is artwork, it would set you back a pretty penny by $850.
The creation is from Art by Dirt and he uses only American Made Motorcycle parts.
The website indicates up to the present all proceeds have benefitted his local charities such as Veteran and No Kill Shelters for animals, raising over $100,000 the past 8 years.
He also makes commissioned pieces and accepts donations of used American Made Motorcycle part to continue his work.
Ever wonder what happens to a fridge when it goes to the recycling center? Wonder no more, because above is a video of one being torn to shreds and being separated by different components to be reused.
When my son was in grade school he and his friends were fascinated with the watching the big equipment in the recycling yard and the machines in action,from a distance outside the gate, when we would drop off cans for recycling and to get a little cash to have breakfast or do something fun for the day.
As non-employees were not permitted behind the gate and the boys were more curious about seeing the process more up close, I Googled and found SSI Shredding Systems"Shreds of the Week" of different objects so they could see the process literally inside the machines.
They also have channel on Youtube where the above video is from and they show shredding of all sorts of objects, from cars to carpets and many things in between if you want to see more:)
You would probably need to work in a bar or restaurant to have enough to make one of these lovelies, although a Facebook commenter indicated that her Mother goes through enough wine to have more than enough to make one of these. Guess even if the tree wasn't lit up, you could count on Grandma to be.
While pretty and unique, these would probably not be for any place that had children, animals or clumsy adults and would need to be on a solid foundation as it would be very heavy.
The one above appears to have a specially made rack to hold the bottles upside-down.
The two below are on several tiers of circular glass decreasing in diameter.
I don't have a liquor cabinet, but love this idea!
This was a post by Derek at Relax Shacks in response to a reader's email who was building at 10' x 15 foot tiny home and wanted suggestions for adding a bar for entertaining.
It would be fairly simple to make once you found an old TV that you want to use, remove the tube, hot glue some fabric inside, maybe add a small glass shelf or two and a touch light and it would be ready to go.
What a clever use of old VHS tapes, although I am sure it is more for artistic reasons than an actual working foosball table, but clever none the less. If was posted on Recycle Art with the credit being "Défilé des “Petits Riens-Spullenhup” 2012 – Brussels / Customazing-design"
With Earth Day being tomorrow, I thought is appropriate to share this cute little '69 VW turned into a cute little traveling coffee shop.
The story of The Coffee Bug on the same type of whiteboard as its menu is the original owner, a fella names Bob, cut the back end off and then transformed it into a traveling camper, then got married and had a few kids and decided it was too small. Bob then sold it to its current owners, Frank and Laura and they transformed it into The Coffee Bug traveling coffee shop that is towed to festivals by a truck. The "Bug" says it doesn't miss its engine as it is now powered by caffeine and smiles.

When my son was young several times he was more interested in the boxes that contained the presents than the actual presents. I only wish I had thought of making this clever Star Wars inspired "Millennium Falcon" like the The Karpiuks did. Not to mention how adorable little "Has Solo" is.
Even better, they made a bandolier and "Wookieized" their dog:
For more information on how it was made visit their blog and see the photo tutorial on their flickr pool.
"The Palettenpavillon by Matthias Loebermann is a structure made entirely from shipping pallets, ground anchors, and tie rods. Designed to be easily assembled and dismantled, and then entirely recycled at a later date, the resulting building is intended as a temporary meeting place."
While personally it doesn't seem very friendly or inviting; has more a feel of the ship corridors in "Alien" or "Event Horizon", which would make it great for a haunted house or horror movie set.
