Upcycling a three ring binder
I needed hooks next to my BBQ to hang a towel or some tools for grilling.
This project could also fit in a kitchen or an office.
The tools needed:
Pliers and scissors
The material:
A 3 ring binder and 2 screws.
How to make it:
There's no really need for a tutorial on this one. The tricky part might be to remove the rings from the hard cover using the pliers.
These hooks are great outside since you can close them and secure from the wind the stuff hanging.
This upcycling project is not my idea, I give all the credit to Bettina who's also one of my wonderful and creative followers.

Sad News for upcycling....
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.

What to do with soda can (part1)
I'm a big fan of Umbra design, most of their products are affordable if you like design; but I wondered if it would be possible to "get inspired" from the wallflowers using soda cans.
The aluminium from soda can is flexible and is easy to give a 3D shape. I have started with the same flower shape, then I also tried butterflies.
The Result
My picture does not look as professional as the original Umbra design, but the aluminum gives a pretty nice touch to the wall.
The Tools needed
Scissors and double face tape.
The material
A soda can
How to make it
The can can be cut with scissors on each end and then flatten as a rectangle.
It's very easy to find butterflies template on line using any search tool with butterfly as a keyword.
For the flower this is the template I used, just resize it to play with any size you want.
The double face scotch sticks aluminium easily on the wall.
The cost
If you have scissors and tape, the cost is almost nothing, you just have to enjoy your soda cans and keep them for your projects. By the way, keep more because more projects are coming.
Conclusion
It's unbelievable all that can be done with soda can, I'll try to bring more exciting projects later. Stay tuned!
