Upcycling zip ties

These amazing bowl and vase were created by Chen Neta and Rochman Mali from "The Israeli Connection Project". The ingenious way the zip ties are connected is creating designs and curves. I'm collecting zip ties right now to try the fruit bowl. Did you know that you can reuse a zip tie?
Check this quick video, some zip ties open better if you use some kind of needle or the tip of a knife.

Hanging glass bottle on a wall

From Etsy

This way of hanging bottles reminded me of an old post (you can see by clicking here) with a tutorial to make torch from wine bottles:

A nice clean way to hang the bottles.

Sad News for upcycling....

This is a variation of the torch made with bottle of wine posted here. A simple project that looks good on picture. You can find the attachments in the plumbing department at your local store.

Also, sad news for magazines. Readymade Magazine won't publish anymore... Decision from the parent company. It was a great magazine that will be missed by all upcyclers... The website is still working though.

The Bic Daisy Vase

Would you guess that this cute little vase is made from a Bic pen?
The daisy vases are hand blown and molded by designers Jim termeer and Jess Giffin.
It's probably not easy to make, specially to get a perfectly stable vase, but I'll have to give it a try one day!
