If your whisks aren’t working quite like they use to, no need to toss them out. Instead use them to make these adorable lanterns for your home. All you need are some tea candles and strings to hand them on.

3. Guitar turned shelf

I know how painful it can be for musicians to toss out their musical instruments; these things are often very sentimental. That’s why this idea is so great because you really don’t have to. This idea on how to turn your old guitar into a hanging shelf is one of my absolute faves on this list of upcycling projects, and for obvious reasons.

Another super creative idea for your bathroom is using an empty whisky bottle as a soap dispenser. This is great for persons who buy in bulk. This idea also works for shampoo and conditioner, or even dish washing liquid for your kitchen.  Just make sure you properly rinse out the remains from the empty bottle and use the top from an old lotion bottle for the pump at the top.
