NEW!! & just in time for #worldlabyrinthday on Saturday! Now you can experience the benefits of using a finger labyrinth to create stillness and peace within with my latest piece of digital art. Now available for purchase & download at happilyupcycled.com and in my #Etsy shop: Quilled Finger Labyrinth Meditation Tool (Printable File).

On October 1st my shop was awarded the Etsy Star Seller badge!! I love making handmade gifts & upcycled craft kits and I’m grateful to the customers and friends who’ve purchased them and left ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ reviews 😊 thank you!!

I don’t know Paige & Chris, but I sure loved putting together their gift package this morning 🥰

They’re back!!! Ready to get your craft on and make some paper pumpkins for your fall decor? I recently rescued and repurposed an art history textbook, a cookbook, a children’s picture book, and a world atlas. All of these book pages will make adorable pumpkins and the craft is simple and satisfying. Each kit is one-of-a-kind and I have 19 left in my Etsy shop @happilyupcycled that are ready to ship to you or a friend :) $25 (includes shipping!)

I just learned it’s World Labyrinth Day! Labyrinths are incredible tools and I enjoy incorporating them into my creative practice. Here’s one of my Upcycled finger labyrinths made from a vinyl record and rope from an old hammock.

Sometimes playing leads to kit making ❤️ I Upcycled 👖 to make this Finger Labyrinth Embroidery Pattern & Upcycled Denim Craft Kit. Available now in my Etsy shop or on happilyupcycled.com 😊 if you enjoy hand-stitching and are looking for your next mindful crafting project, please check it out! $25 includes shipping to anywhere in US & I’m happy to send it out as a gift from you, just check the gift box on checkout!

Playing with french knots, a denim scrap & my finger labyrinth pattern 😍

Bulk custom order being shipped this morning! I spent the weekend crafting 15 DIY Book Page Pumpkin kits & I’m thrilled with the results 😊 These craft kits were Upcycled from discarded history books & I can’t wait to see them transformed into a paper pumpkin patch 🧡❤️

I love to make paper flowers + I love making DIY craft kits, so when a dear friend gifted me a box of donated maps this is what happened 😊 I’m thrilled to share that now you can make one, too!! Read on for details or if your ready to order head on over to happilyupcycled.com
