Upcycling ideas in under a day

Makes and styling Suzie Sheppard Photos Olly Gordon

Our resident crafting goddess Suzie has outdone herself this month and has conjured up a series of six imaginative makes that any HomeStyler can try. For those who are short on time (or attention span), her statement découpage tray is a sure-fire winner; once whipped up, you can pop it on your coffee table, add a book and a few trinkets (perhaps the DIY pompom flowers on the following page?) and it will totally transform your living room. We love Suzie’s lollypop stick memo board too – and it only costs £1 to make! Plus, there’s a crochet footstool, which sneakily involves no crocheting, a how-to for infinitely useful denim baskets and a handy furniture hack that uses wallpaper in a brand new way.
