Resurrect a Broken Camera as a Flowerpot

Seems like everything keeps getting smaller these days: computers, dogs, headphones…

And now even photographs are joining in the smallness, thanks to the magic of biaxially oriented thermoplastic polystyrene (that’s Shrinky Dinks to you).

You can print photos on plastic using your inkjet printer, and shrink them down small enough to make into necklaces, fridge magnets, earrings, or practically anything you can think of.

See? Just like that, the world is your bivalve mollusc of the family Ostreidae! *

Convert a cut of corduroy into a cuff for your cup, and keep your coffee calienté!

Complete with a clever cutout, your cuff can show off captchas of your cute kids, curvaceous cutie, or capricious canine.

Carry your cuff to the cafe, and counter the calamity of cold coffee!

Make Sure Nobody Steals Your Joe with a Photo Coffee Cuff
Thanks to reader Janelle for the tip!

p.s. Sorry about all that- sometimes we’re prone to C-sickness.

p.p.s. The picture-frame coffee cozy was originally designed as a Father’s Day gift, but we figured the ladies would want to get in on it too. Why should dads have all the fun?

Invisible ink, spy cameras, secret passageways… if it’s incognito, we love it.

Our yen for all things surreptitious and sneaky has inspired us to craft this clansdestine camera case out of a hollowed-out book.

It’s highly useful for tricking enemy spies into believing you are a harmless bookworm instead of the undercover photo ninja that you are.

Pull your fedora down, tighten your trenchcoat, and let’s get secretive.

There was a fair lass from New York
who made a big board out of cork.
She pushed in some pins
and then for the win
she filled it with pictures of Bjork.

Water stains. Ceiling tiles. All those pencils you stuck up there.

So many evils can mar your ceiling. But take heart, photo peeps!

Your ceiling’s not the boss of you.

Cover that water damage with a colorful mural, or slap a collage of fluffy clouds over those grimy ceiling tiles.

All ya need to make it happen are some photo Post-its and a stepstool.

Yessir, everything’s looking up!

Silver dollars, vinyl LPs, Oreos — So many of the best things in life are circle-shaped.

Isn’t it about time your picture collection got with the program?

Circularize your photos and show them off in a urban-chic constellation of modular cardboard rings.

Snappy-lookin’, expandable, and keeps a coupla paper towel rolls out of the landfill. What’s not to like?

We are known far and wide for our love of shiny metal objects.

And some of you may have heard a rumor that we also like photos.

So, naturally, when we found a big ol’ piece of shiny sheet metal at the hardware store,

1. we simply had to have it, and
2. we had to find a way to cover it with pictures.

Enter the magnetic bulletin board: huge, affordable, and so easy to make you just won’t believe it.

We hate getting rid of jars. We’re so sure they’ll come in handy someday, but in reality a person can only use so many jelly-jar glasses.

We’re happy to say we’ve finally found a use for our motley collection of pickle jars, soda bottles and assorted glass receptacles: frames!

It’s so simple we can’t believe we didn’t think of it before: just slide a photo into a jar, turn it upside down and display your upcyclin’ genius for all to see.
