WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT!
Thank you to all who entered our #TreasureNotTrash competition. We loved seeing your second hand treasures, and picking a winner wasn’t easy! Well done to everyone. We hope that by sharing your second hand treasures, you’ve inspired others to get creative, rethink and recycle more…
Here are the results:
The winner is…
Congratulations Alexandra, you’re our winner!
Alexandra discovered a second hand wooden chest on Friday-Ad and gave it a new life. Now it’s a fresh, modern and stylish storage box, which looks fantastic! Alex has won £100 worth of shopping vouchers – enjoy!
Runners up….
We also chose 5 runners up who’s entries we loved. They’ve each won an insulated travel mug made from recycled plastic, to toast their own creative recycling efforts 🙂
1) Upcyclemystuff
We LOVED this creative and super stylish upcycle by Upcyclemystuff. Take one industrial metal chair, spray paint it a bright colour and add some metallic details – and voila, your very own unique piece of furniture. This would look awesome around a rustic dining table!
2) Home Sweet Home
We were blown away by this idea. #TreasureNotTrash in the truest sense of the word! Who knew you could turn old tumble dryer hoses into awesome autumn, Halloween decorations?!
3) Holly Hamsworth
Holly, you’ve got style girl! So simple, yet stylish and practical. We love it 💚 and hope you’ve inspired others to upcycle their home with some simple ideas and details.
4) Christine Hall
We’ve seen barbeques and boots turned into quirky planters before, but never a cement mixer! What a genius idea, a great salvage and truly unique. Christine, you’ve inspired us!
5) Claire Plumb
Claire’s a woman after our own heart! We love a bit of pallet wood upcycling. These are so simple and add a nice touch of colour to any garden or patio. For more ideas check out our blog articles on Easy Upcycling Projects and DIY garden furniture
Special mentions….
We really liked these two very simple upcycling ideas, which show that creating some unique pieces doesn’t have to be a big project involving power tools and paints.
Hopefully we’ve inspired you to try your hand at upcycling, reusing unwanted things and reselling more of what you no longer need or enjoy 🙂
This Competition is Now CLOSED:
We want you to embrace ‘second hand’ and inspire others to do the same, not just to support #SecondHandSeptember, but to try and live more sustainably all year round.
So go on, declutter your home, release your inner bargain hunter and get into upcycling, recycling and reusing.
It’ll be kinder on the environment and immensely rewarding too – from more space at home to more money in your pocket…
