If you are in more of a hurry, find a thrift store instead. Expect to pay a bit more in a thrift store, but if it is run by a charitable organization, you can feel good about paying a few bucks more because you are helping out the cause.

Cover thrift store finds such as boxes and crates with dish shards for an awesome magazine rack. Cover a small picture frame with your gift recipient’s initials or spell out a phrase on a repurposed painted trinket box, using a hot glue gun to attach the keys. Create picture frames, trivets, wall hangings and more with old china.
