Ben and I have an agreement that if we have more than 3 of something that constitutes a collection. Then we give each other 'the look', then we exclaim 'the sigh' and finally we resign ourselves to the fact that we need more space to house yet another assemblage.
Recently I've acquired 3 games from separate visits to junk markets - bingo, lotto and of course my
Monopoly set. I'm still not sure what to do with all the bits. Whether to keep them all in their current state (this is probably true for the Monopoly set) or whether to upcycle them into something else.
On my old blog I used to share upcycling inspiration so I thought I'd try and make it a weekly thing here. So welcome to the first Upcycled Friday - and what to do with old games!
Turn the boards into book covers
Turn the pieces and money into jewellery
Admittedly the Monopoly games tokens were originally inspired by charms - however the do look lovely on a bracelet.
Create a personalised board game
Make some art
