You already know how much I love to craft and make things. But it’s different when you take some old spoons and turn them into something beautiful. Or that old window you have had sitting around finally gets upcycled to be an essential piece in your space. Amazingly, you can turn just about anything into something terrific. You just need some imagination and a few supplies.

20 Creative Upcycled DIY Decor Ideas

Think twice before throwing things away. You might be able to turn it into something else and save yourself some money too. Who doesn’t like saving money and being creative? It’s the best of both worlds in my opinion. Consider saving these items or looking for them at yard sales, thrift stores, and consignment shops:

• Wine Corks – You can make so many incredible crafts with wine corks. Give those finished projects away as gifts or keep them for yourself. Either way, you will find some ideas in this list of what to do with them. If you don’t use corked items enough to collect a lot of corks, you can always buy them in bulk on Amazon.
• Doors and Windows – Whether you need a new chalkboard or want to add some rustic charm to your space, windows and doors might be the answer. You’ll find a couple of ideas for inspiration on just how to use them in this post.
• T-Shirts – We all end up with many T-shirts that we grow out of, that have tears, or that we just don’t like anymore. I could go on and on about all the amazing things you can create with them. Take a look at some ideas below, and then for more ideas check out our post on genius ways to upcycle T-shirts.
