Welcome to the Upcycle Design Lab. I craft with recycled, repurposed, and unwanted materials. There is a lot of experimenting with trash and recyclables to make them "new" again. If you enjoy reusing repairing and re-imagining old items, I hope you will stick around and check out some of my other Upcycling tutorials and join those of us who are rethinking the things we throw away.

Happy Upcycling and Thrifty Crafting

Interesting making aluminum "paper roll" beads.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi Christina - I was really happy with the bead project particularly once I figured out how to color them. Thanks so much for watching.

[@lindaragsdale1656]

The fact that you showed us many options and all the tools needed strengthens the opportunities to turn trash into treasure, you may not call your self a professional but i am greatly inspired by your teaching skills!

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Oh thanks Linda that is so kind of you to say. 🙂

[@jennabuscher4284]

[@CS-lx3gq]

Very nice and well done video. Love recycled projects. Just starting to get ideas for ways to repurpose plastic so thank you!

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi thanks so much for watching and commenting. I am always happy to hear from people who enjoy reusing repairing and repurposing. 🙂

[@Lisa_G3]

All of these were so awesome. So many possibilities. I’m trying to focus on using cardboard and magazines but all the others are so tempting. So many ideas but not enough time!

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi Lisa - Thanks for watching. I know what you mean I usually have more ideas than time to do them. 🙂

[@skullingtonfly]

I really love what you’ve done with the watches 🥰

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Thanks so much. They have been one of my best sellers.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Thanks 😊

[@karenunverzagt8206]

So creative.❤️

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Thank you Karen. 🙂

[@j.m.england6828]

Your work is awesome, so smartly creative, it's hard to pick a favorite, the cardboard bracelets are great, the soda can pull tabs as bracelets, the can top rings as earrings, the watch facings, the paper & the tin can beads with ink as earrings or bracelets, the bottom can as a pendant, all~great, i'm looking forward to trying some of these projects, thanks for these fun creative ideas, love them all.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🙂

[@j.m.england6828]

@@UpcycleDesignLab You are very welcome, i really enjoy watching all of your videos, keep up the fun, Oh i also watched your video of hints on how to set up at a swap meet, your ideas are awesome, saving space or making more space, thank you.

[@cacevedo07]

That alphabet puncher is an amazing idea. Many thanks for sharing it. You have another subscriber here.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi - Welcome. Thanks for watching. I am happy to have you join my youtube family.

[@rozina246]

I always love to watch innovative jewellery making tutorials. I love all your creations! Thank you so much for sharing the tutorials with us. I have two question- Do you secure the beads with anything? Do the can beads sharp? Looking forward to hearing from you.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi Rozina - yes I do seal the beads. I usually use gloss mod podge for a sealer. Once the beads are rolled they aren't sharp but you can get a paper type of cut when working with the aluminum so you do need to be a little careful handling the metal. Thanks for watching.

[@quinbee_creates]

My favourite is the paper tube bracelets. I thought I'd seen all your vids but I don't remember that one. Off to watch it now.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

This project is about eight years old. So it doesn't have the best tutorial sorry. It was a fun project so maybe there will be a sequel some day. Thanks so much for all your watch time. Cheers!

[@quinbee_creates]

@@UpcycleDesignLab Can't watch the video anyway; says it's private.

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

@@quinbee_creates Thanks for letting me know. I made some older videos that had some KZbin policy violations. Music related if I remember correctly. Sorry about that. It isn't one of my better videos as I was just getting started. Hopefully there was enough information in the blog post. Have a great week 🙂

[@beccahainsworth1350]

I want to know what those baskets--from the recycled watch jewelry--are made from! They're adorable and look super handy displays! Everything is so creative and resourceful! Love it!

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi Becca thanks for watching. The baskets are made from magazine pages.🙂

[@treeleeweir]

Do you put a seal of any kind over the alcohol ink that you've painted on the aluminum beads? I love your work!!

[@UpcycleDesignLab]

Hi thanks for your question I did use a sealer on the beads. I believe I used mod podge for this project. Thanks for watching.
