DIY: Upcycling Garage-Sale Finds

by RoseanneQVJ Posted on January 29, 2014

Upcycling a garage-sale find can be a perfect DIY project. Photo: Dinah Wulf

I adore going to garage sales. With a little time and effort, you can find hidden treasures that just need a little TLC. You’re helping sellers off-load their unwanted items (so those hidden treasures don’t end up in the trash!) while also helping yourself by saving a few bucks.

Not long ago, I bought a red bench for $5 at a garage sale. I brought it home and turned it into the perfect DIY weekend project.

With a little cleaning and by adding an upholstered cushion, I upcycled my find into something fun and comfy.

Ready to tackle your own found-furniture face-lift? Follow my step-by-step process.

To do a project like mine, you’ll need:

A bench (or similar type of furniture)
Spray paint with primer
High-density craft foam
Scissors
A yardstick
Fabric
A staple gun and heavy-duty staples

Recycle Denim Through Jan. 31 and Help Insulate Homes

by MiloTQBHoozqo Posted on January 15, 2014

Now through Jan. 31, if you drop off your old denim at a Fresh Produce store, you’ll receive a discount and the old denim will be turned into insulation. Photo: Shutterstock

Recycling your old blue jeans obviously benefits the environment, but now through the end of January, if you recycle your jeans at a Fresh Produce retail store, it will also benefit you and communities in need.

Fresh Produce, a national apparel brand for women, is teaming up with Cotton Incorporated, the marketing and research company for cotton, and Blue Jeans Go Green, a denim recycling initiative, to make this happen. When you return your old denim — any style, any brand — to one of Fresh Produce’s 24 stores this month, you’ll receive 15 percent off Fresh Produce’s new denim line, KUT. Then Blue Jeans Go Green will turn the old denim into housing insulation, which will be donated to communities that need it.

“We love the bright colors Fresh Produce apparel is known for and we know that their customers will love this unique program that gives new life to unwanted denim,” Andrea Samber, co-director of strategic alliances for Cotton Incorporated, said in a press release. “By donating jeans and other denim items to Blue Jeans Go Green, Fresh Produce customers are not only helping to divert textiles from landfills, they are helping provide housing insulation to communities in need and getting a discount on new denim purchases at Fresh Produce.”

While this partnership between Fresh Produce and Blue Jeans Go Green is new, the denim recycling program has already made quite an impact. To date, more than 600 tons of denim has been diverted from landfills by Blue Jeans Go Green, and the organization has insulated more than 1,000 homes across the country with their UltraTouch Denim Insulation. Blue Jeans Go Green has also partnered with many organizations, including universities and Habitat for Humanity chapters, to help accomplish its goals.

The denim Blue Jeans Go Green collects is turned into UltraTouch Denim Insulation, made by Bonded Logic Inc. Photo: Bonded Logic

Blue Jeans Go Green has received more than a million pieces of denim thus far, and you can add to this number by dropping your old jeans off at a Fresh Produce location through Jan. 31. If you’re interested in recycling old denim but don’t live near a Fresh Produce store (find locations here), you can also mail your old jeans to Blue Jeans Go Green directly.
