I have been itching to do a project. You know, get your hands dirty, touch the junk, brainstorm ideas, feel that sense of "wow, that's pretty cool" when you are finished.
With the opening of Junk Revolution's online store I have been spending way too much time at the keyboard and taking photos. I decided to challenge myself this week with this pile of junk. These not terribly exciting bookends were given to me (love that free stuff) by a flea market vendor that was tired of carrying them around.

I have stared at them sitting next to my desk for months suspicious of their potential. I have 5 ideas that I plan to tackle this week. Not sure if they will all be great, but I am anxious to get started! Check back to see how they turn out.
Don't forget to visit my store where you will find the perfect gift for that special junker in your life. Give the gift that keeps on junking... a junker tee shirt!
Peace,

I am waaaay excited to see what you do with these! I see these all the time at sales and just pass them by.

P.S. Have you seen my recent "junky holiday" post? I set out to find ways to use old Christmas tree stands. Please check it out and tell me what you think! I'd love to have some feedback from a junk guru like you!

Can't wait to see what you come up with. I have a bunch of these, and have often thought, if I could come up with a really good idea for them, the world would "beat a path to my door", so to speak. Now if you can come up with a project for old aluminum walkers (I see at every garage sale) we'll all be rich and can retire :)

Margo,
ReplyDeleteI have used aluminum walkers...for bedside tables! Very modern in style when you add thick glass shelves. Maybe I am on to something.
Try it sometime.
Peace,

HI KI,I HAVE DONE THESE WITH OLD CAST STARS WIRED OR GORILLA GLUED TO THEM,SOME SHABBY ONES THAT I USED OLD MATERIAL COVERED THEM & GLUED OLD BUTTONS & LACE TO THEM,I'VE GLUED OLD SKELETON KEYS & OTHER SMALL METAL COMPONENTS TO THEM. THE IDEAS ARE ENDLESS :)
ReplyDeleteOMG--this is so timely. We just replaced all of our bookends (just like yours) with new ones so I have a huge pile of these. Now I know what to do with them. Thanks!
