Upcycle old windows for awesome DIY decor!<\/h3>\n
\n

Thrift stores, garage sales, antique stores, and even construction sites often have hidden DIY decor gems — old windows! You can transform them into\u00a0DIY furniture projects<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0beautiful wall art<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0pieces — the possibilities are endless! Below is a post that I wrote for\u00a0Crafting a Green World<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that shares 10 awesome projects that you can create from old windows. Check them out and be inspired!<\/p>\n

Reduce, reuse, redecorate– here are 10 ways you can upcycle old windows!<\/h3>\n

Recently my mom hand painted several old windows with inspirational quotes to sell in her craft booth. I love to paint furniture, but artistically painting is not<\/em> my gift. I upcycled an old window into a dry erase board<\/a><\/strong> last week and was inspired to create more window projects. I started researching others that I could do, and I was pleasantly surprised! There are so many incredible window projects on Pinterest<\/a><\/strong> that I was overwhelmed! Below are 10 of my favorite upcycled window projects that I found through my search:<\/p>\n

1. Chevron Antique Window Tray<\/a><\/h3>\n

With painter’s tape, a little paint, and two cabinet handles, you can transform your old window into a beautiful tray!<\/p>\n

2. DIY Antique Window Headboard<\/a><\/h3>\n

When I first saw this headboard made out of a collage of antique windows, my heart stopped. Simple, yet elegant.\u00a0You have to see it for yourself to understand what I mean.<\/p>\n

3. DIY Window Table<\/a><\/h3>\n

If you’re feeling handy (or can convince your husband to do it), turn your old window into a unique table. It’s perfect as a coffee table or a side table. Plus, you can display items inside the table, too!<\/p>\n

4. Make a Decorative Mini Greenhouse<\/a><\/h3>\n

If you’ve always wanted to make your own greenhouse<\/a><\/strong>, this one seems like a perfect one to try! I don’t have a green thumb by any means, but this project was too cute not to share!<\/p>\n

5. Window Picture Holder with Twine<\/a><\/h3>\n

I love this super simple idea from Funky Junk Interiors– wrap twine tightly around your window and viola!<\/em><\/p>\n

6. Window Picture Frame with Chicken Wire<\/a><\/h3>\n

If your window doesn’t have any glass, staple chicken wire to the back and you’ll have an awesome picture holder. You can also hang memos on it like I did in the How to Upcycle an Old Window Frame into a Memo Board<\/a><\/strong> post.<\/p>\n

7. Turn Your Old Window into a Chalkboard<\/a><\/h3>\n

We love chalkboard paint projects<\/a><\/strong> around here, so I’m totally digging the idea of painting the window panes of the window with chalkboard paint. The character of the old window contrasted against the black paint is just oh-so-pretty!<\/p>\n

8. Window Box Cabinet<\/a><\/h3>\n

Upcycled furniture project<\/a><\/strong>, anyone? Use a window (or two) as a door in a DIY cabinet!<\/p>\n

9. Old Window into Jewelry Display<\/a><\/h3>\n

Do you have a jewelry hoard like I do? Organize it with the help of an old window. This could even be an\u00a0unique craft booth display<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

10. Turn Vintage Windows into Picture Frames<\/a><\/h3>\n

Use your vintage windows to showcase and display your favorite pictures. Add a punch of color to the back like Kristen Duke did with recycled cardboard, or you can use a fun, eco-friendly fabric<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
