While Valentine’s Day is just days away, you and your boo—or your BFF—still have plenty of time to do DIY projects together to celebrate this romantic, loving day.  And when you upcycle pairs of projects, you will feel the two times the love during this sweetheart time of year—or truly any day.  

Two weeks until Valentine’s Day is here, and there’s just the right amount of time to make a gift for your sweetie.  Here’s an idea to create a special dish to hold chocolates and other heart-shaped treats. 

Upcycle a mismatched chair and bench into a stylish pair using metal and mink!   Spray on shiny silver paint and recover cushions with lush fake fur fabric for a high-end, elegant style.  Top it all off with black embellishments to bring out fine details.  

As we hunker down during the winter months, there is no need to put the fun, creativity, and fellowship on hold as well. Tap into the upcycling of thrift store items with others as a unique way to connect and create with family, friends & groups. For nearly next to nothing per person and with a little prep and planning, you will guarantee a good time for all.
