Upcycling is a trend that just keeps growing, which is great news for crafters as you can pick up old bits of furniture for next-to-nothing in charity shops and online auctions. This piano stool cost just £3 to buy, and with a bit of elbow grease and a lick of paint, it has been transformed into chic homeware that can be used as a stool, coffee table or bedside table.
Makes like this give you a fantastic opportunity to show off your unique style and if you're looking for a side hustle, projects like this will earn you loyal customers who keep coming back for more.
We have lots of other upcycling projects if you're looking for more inspiration, we love this upcycled chair, or how about this decoupage table project? And we love this how to reupholster a stool project.
We love seeing what you make, so don’t forget to share your upcycling or craft projects with us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, too!
