Short on cash but don’t want to skimp on Christmas? Take a cue from Rose Waterrose and turn something used into something stunning and new! Can you believe this designer jacket was created with a used jean jacket found at a thrift store and embroidery thread? Just think of all the design possibilities: family trees, favorite poems, and even phrases from your favorite songs.

Have an out-of-focus  photo with distracting background noise you just can’t part with? Let April Derrick of Live 2 Create help you take it out of your junk drawer and put it into your scrapbook. Heck with her tutorial, you can turn that photo into a focal point for a lovely framed art piece. Stop by her blog for details on how she created this lovely scrapbook page.

As part of the Creative Troupe, myself, I thought I’d share my tutorial for helping your kids create this cute mummy couple. Can you believe they are made out of old food jars? Talk about a great way to teach your kids about upcycling while you bond as a family.

These are just a few of the amazing projects our Creative Troupe members have been creating.
