I was hurrying through a thrift store one Saturday morning, the kind that only opens on a Saturday so it's the closest thing that Sweden has to a Walmart Black Friday stampede. I remember spotting an old vintage globe. But I didn't even look at the price. After all, what would I do with it?
And then literally within the week I saw this recycled globe art from Beth at Patina White...and I've been kicking myself ever since! So, to honor those of you who have an extra globe sitting around, I've gathered a little bit of inspiration for your DIY habit...beginning with Beth's globe art.

No, that last one wasn't an actual globe...but it was just too cute not to share. Same thing with this one below.

And where can I find one of these?

I hope this has inspired you to do a little globe-al recycling at your place. My favorite is still Beth's piece at the very beginning. What's yours?
Until next time...

Irena and Ingunn - glad you found me, so that I could also find you. Got you plugged in on Bloglovin'. We're going to be starting up some recycled/repurposed arts and crafts workshops in the Gothenburg area - so maybe you can keep an eye out to help us talk about it when we get them going.
DeleteIn love and so inspired !!!
