I’ve been cleaning out and getting ready for the impending move(cue ominous music). I often struggle between wanting to get rid of everything and not wanting to get rid of anything. It happened recently with a starting-to-rust old cheese grater. I have other newer non-rusty cheese graters. Why would I feel an urge to keep a cheese grater?!
Well, rather than worrying about why, I decided to look for a way to repurpose it. With myself and 2 teenage daughters, we have a lot of jewelry… a lot. What came to mind first was to repurpose the grater to hold earrings.
Uh, how easy was this?
So, then the blogger kicked in and I figured I should invest no money (just used decorative paper I already had and some Mod Podge, but you could even use double stick tape) and about 2 minutes time to really dress it up.
So, for no cost and 2 minutes, I now have a functional earring holder. I think it would be fun to hang 5-6 graters randomly and use them all as jewelry holders. But that will be for another day…after the move.

If you know me, you know I live for upcycling ideas and these potion bottles from recycled light bulbs are one of my favorites. Since I also live for crafting, when both of those passions collide in one project, I’m one happy mama. These upcycled potion bottles make great Halloween decorations, party decorations, props for…
Do you remember the Sweater Pillows {here} I made as Valentine’s gifts? I used the body of the sweaters to make the pillows but still had the tops and sleeves left over. I really liked the color and textures of both sweaters, so I wanted to find repurposed project for both the pink sleeves and…
I’ve always been fascinated by Altoids tins (I know I’m not alone in this one). I finally found the perfect use for repurposing one – an organizer for all those store rewards cards. I don’t know about you, but I’ve got 20+ of those store rewards cards. I think they multiply on their own…
I just love a craft that only requires 2 minutes of my time! This is the cutest thing! Your brain just works so wonderfully!
Very clever re-purposing!
Very clever!
Er no, don’t fancy slicing my fingers/nails/knuckles every time I need to get/put back earrings. ∑(O_O;)
Hasn’t been a problem so far. 🙂
