Repairing and Reusing
Reusing
When I need inspiration to reuse something I love looking up flips that Lara Spencer did. Below you can see 2 of her videos that I picked out that have tips and really cool ideas. They are actually both from a segment called Trash to Treasure if you ever want to look up more of these.

My favorite craft to do with finds are collages. I do this with old funky maps, postcards, photos etc. The stuff I collage on are mostly boxes and frames. On the left you can see a photo of a box that I collaged with copies of postcards. I never like using the real thing because it ruins it for possible use in the future. I usually take a picture of the item and send it to be printed. When reusing I just have 2 tips:
1) Don't do anything too extravagant. Keep in mind of what you are doing because an object can only do so much.
2) Just remember to keep your creative juices for your next project and you can create anything!

Repairing
When you reuse something you don't always have to transform it and change its purpose. Sometimes you can just repair it and use it for what it was born to do.
