What can I do with the body of a car?

Car has sentimental value so I was thinking of parting it out and keeping the body for something. Any ideas? Maybe a chicken coop or a cat patio, something like that?

Repurposing and DIY YouTube

Just put up my first episode. Repurposing and DIY are going to be a big part of my whole thing. The first installment is goggles made from recycled drink cans, so I figured it would fit well around here. I'd also appreciate some feed back. Check it out, please!

What do I do with this?

My father-in-law was an independent building designer and contractor. He built the family home 75 years ago. We now own the home and I was trying to clean out his basement workshop. Discovered many cans, jars, boxes filled with miscellaneous nails, screws, bolts, washers and other miscellaneous parts. Many are mixed contents, some are singular type items. The three pictures are about half of what I found.

Question is, what do I do with all this stuff? Can't use most of it, don't want to just toss it in the trash.

Any creative ideas?

I just used these 2005 football stickers for a collection of mine. I wondered could I use them for any repurpose?

TIA

upcycled some old bottles into painted vases, pretty happy with how they came out

had a couple of empty glass bottles lying around and instead of throwing them out i painted little flowers on them and turned them into vases. the blue one's my favourite. still figuring out the brushwork but it was a fun weekend thing.

Fan and Magnet

I have a magnetic phone holder that had no more purpose until I needed a magnet for my little fan. It fits like a glove.

Any tips on getting odors out of plastic, or glass, containers?

I love repurposing food/product containers for storage and crafts, but some smells just refuse to leave. Like plastic peanut butter jars, glass pepper jars, plastic detergent pod containers (I don’t use for food), and things like that. Is there a way to lessen the smell / get rid of it completely, or do I just accept it as a part of the jar?

Thank you!

Does anyone have any upcycling ideas for this shirt?

I would love to repurpose this women’s button up shirt I ordered from Coldwater Creek that came with a defect and holes. The company is sending me a new one for free, but doesn’t want the original one back. I don’t sew. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Any ideas for repurposing these?

3ft sliding doors from a bookshelf (got water damage). I have two of them, don’t want to toss if I can find something smart/not clutter to use for! Thanks in advance!
