The post Swiss Designer Recycles Found Objects into Quirky Furniture appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Dennler, who describes himself as a “self-taught craftsman,” enjoys breathing new life into found objects by turning them into quirky furniture. In most cases, the particular piece of furniture and its traditional function are opposed to each other. This is something Dennler aims for as part of his efforts to redefine “the status of the object and its form.”
One of Dennler’s works that gained a particular amount of attention was a Laser disc chair made out of hundreds of old CDs. This piece of furniture turned out so impressive that Belgian art center Galila’s P.O.C decided to make it part of their collection. The artist now intends to make four more in order to satisfy the popular demand.
Among other Dennler’s creations are chairs made out of steel tubes and old radiators, a lamp made out of plungers, and table that used to be a Jaguar car. His works have been exhibited in art galleries around the world while also being picked up by private collectors. You can check out more of them on his website, social media, or by scrolling below.

]]>One great option is recycling old clothes into new ones, just like Sarah Tyau does. This mom of three was sick of having to buy clothes for herself and the kids all the time, only to have them ruined after a few washes. She learned how to sew herself and started transforming old pieces into gorgeous new dresses, skirts, blouses, and accessories. Her girls are thrilled they always have something pretty to wear and it’s even more special because their mom made it and it’s one of the kind.
Check out how Sarah does it; you may be inspired to try it out yourself.
. . This tutorial is more detailed and lengthy than my other ones I’ve done(this one is 9 mins., the average length of my other tutorials are 4-5 mins.). So my question for you is, do you prefer it to be more detailed and meticulous step-by-step tutorial like this one or do you prefer the 4-5 min. version because it’s like Pinterest, you know you’re never going to attempt to do it but it looks cool and pinning it makes you feel like you’re somehow a part of that cool hack by associating yourself to it by pinning it, kinda like you see a clothing item you really love and you know you’re not going to buy it because it’s too expensive but touching it and caressing the fabric on your skin, breathing into the fabric so you leave your DNA and putting it in your cart for one hour while you shop makes you feel like you “owned” it for a bit so parting ways seems less dramatic and heartbreaking and makes you feel little better before you have to put it back and exit out of the store? . . Do you like my deep, profound analogy? Or do you feel like your I.Q just dropped 5 pts. after reading that?
I am just here to inspire you with my deep perspective, you’re welcome. #sharingmydeepwithyou . . So to sum it all up… Do you prefer longer tutorial or short? And am I the only one who does the above when shopping… minus the breathing part?
I frantically had my husband take a before photo before it got dark, dyed it to blush pink, then cut out the sleeves from the jacket to add to the sleeveless dress, cut the dress in half to separate the top bodice and the skirt, sewed it back together, added darts, a new zipper, cut it shorter, made it form fitting, then used the extra fabric from the jacket to add the floral details. . . The theme was “Asymmetrical”, hence the different sized florals on each side. I got done as the sun was setting down, so if you see an after photo of me wearing it, the photo looks super grainy due to a lot of lightening to the photo. But I got it done! And it won that week’s challenge! Do you think it was worth all the anxiety, stress and staying up all night?
Do any of you remember this one? If you do, comment below, you are one of my oldest followers and I need to give you a virtual high five and a hug! 
But yes, I am not super proud of this one guys, I cringe a little on the inside even showing you this. But we all start somewhere, right?
Because I’ll be sending my son to a private preschool 2 days a week for all day! 7 hours of alone time 2 days a week, I have not had this much free time in 11 years! Woo hoo, freedom, party time!!! I’ll get so much done. And more sewing. Yay!!! I feel guilty at the amount of excitement I have about this. Jk, I really don’t.
I turned a size medium jacket I bought from my friend’s yard sale for $3, into a cute and sophisticated jacket/dress for my daughter. The bow is removable and can also be worn on the hair. A full video tutorial link in bio or swipe up on my story. . . p.s. We are breaking ground tomorrow for our new house! I always debate whether to post the updates on our house from now on via stories on this feed or my @dreamhomecometrue feed. Where do you think I should post it? Mainly on my home account and just post one story here saying check out my stories on the other account? Help this sista out by answering this not-that-important question!The post Mom Transforms Old Clothes Into New Ones With a Skill That Anybody Can Learn appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
