HOBBIES, REPURPOSED

One of my favorite things to repurpose is yoga mats. When it’s time to upgrade your yoga mat, there are so many things you can do with your old one. You can cut it into pieces to line drawers so things don’t move around. You can make a sleeve for your coffee cup instead of using cardboard ones every day. You can cut it into circles to make coasters or jar openers. You can make a protective laptop/iPad/Kindle case by cutting two pieces a little larger than your device and hot glue three of the sides together. You can cut small pieces and put them under the legs of chairs or tables to protect floors. You can basically use it for any situation where you need to increase grip or provide a cushion. The possibilities are endless! -

I had a old wooden dollhouse from when I was younger that I decided to paint the entirely white and use as a really cool storage unit for nail polishes, perfumes, and other knick knacks that I had lying around. It's almost charming how each room is reserved as a different cubby hole for a different item. Much better than plain shelves, and it adds to the nostalgia of my room decor. -
