Upcycled mini creations ••• Discover all kinds of things that can be recycled to build miniatures
A relaxing hobby like building miniatures is a great way to wind down and create things, but it can also get a little costly when you have to go and buy supplies to bring all your tiny ideas to life. Luckily, there's a ton of miniature things you can create without spending a penny: by recycling and upcycling the things that lie around your house unused, or headed for the waste bin. From structural elements like walls, doors and windows, to smaller details like hinges, handles and hooks, and even things like plants and frying pans, you might be surprised what can be created convincingly with the simplest of materials.
