My daughter & I love to go to garage sales during the nice weather. We have gotten a lot of nice toys at them. Last year I retreived a Step 2 Fort from someones garbage. Just needed an extra support bar. A lot of times the companies will supply missing parts.
Never crossed my mind to rework used toys! I like goodwill, thrift stores etc for toys, books etc. I will now look at the toys different — HOW can I change or fix this toy up to look better THANKS
YES I love yard sales, flea markets etc you never what treasure you will find. A little cleaning, maybe paint and you have you have something special. Then add a few decorations and it is something any little kid would love
What a great idea! My kids are really good at upcycling and turning trash into treasure! I really like being able to find something that someone else wants to get rid of and making it brand new and loved again.
We found some folding doors that we were lucky to find in such great shape. We sanded them down, and varnished them in a beautiful wood grain look. We are using them for our childrens playroom right now, the kids love them!
Awesome transformation. Gr8 job indeed

Thank you for sharing. In the summertime we shop at yard sales and find some great toys for my grandkids. We take them home and clean them up.
It’s amazing what a fresh coat of color can do! Looks brand new!
This is a cool article my kids love yard sales and we always clean it up
What a fantastic way to save money and customize a toy for your little one!
Wonderful! You’ve inspired me! I’ll be looking at garage sales differently this summer!!
Great job! I love garage sale shopping. I have picked up some great toys and clothes for my grandchildren.
I love to ssave anything I can and reuse or redo it. I also resell it after revamping!
Looks great! We go ‘free shopping’ when our city has the curb junk week. From time to time, we find great stuff!
This looks so good. We get several toys from friends that could use some refurbishing. You inspired me to give it a try. I love the Minnie Mouse tape.
Great job! I love recycling toys into new things. So much fun for me and the Grandkids.
These are great tips for making toys destined for the trash usable. Thanks!

Lots of free stuff curb side, or on craigslist too, many ways to acquire near new treasures
This is so amazing ! Thanks for sharing!
This come out great! I’ve never done this but I should, I’ve seen some great ideas online
You did an awesome job and saved a lot. We love going to yard and garage sales. You never know what you’ll find.
I love upcycling! A shame to let gently used items end up in landfill!
That’s awesome! I’ve never done anything like this.
This is actually very clever! Thanks!

I love “upcycling” – trash to treasure! Reduces waste
I love to upcycle!

This is inspirational! I can’t believe the things people will throw out – things like books, that I’ve been searching for.
