Upcycling ideas in under a day

Oh hello summer! You’ve got us feeling fired up for some fresh new home revamps, so we’ve teamed up with talented designer and all-round creative lady, Suzie Sheppard. As you’ll see over the next six pages, she’s brimming with crafty ideas to make your home as bright and cheerful as the July sun. Don’t want to be stuck indoors too long? We don’t blame you, which is why all our makes take a day or less. For a quick colour fix, we’ve got a dining chair ombré overhaul. Picked up some pretty ceramic tiles from holiday? Use them to upcycle a rickety apple crate into a handy storage table. If you’ve had a winter wardrobe clear out, lop off sweater sleeves and make a set of cute cactus pincushions. Enjoy!
