Glorious Steampunk Upcycling from Nico Scrap and Einat!
Today, we have Steampunk magic in store for you, G45ers! Nico Scrap and Einat Kessler have two stunning projects that will amaze you! They use a combo of DIY Craft Rolls and Steampunk Debutante in such a magical way. Enjoy today's great ideas!
First, Nico Scrap takes a plain box and turns it into Steampunk magic! Note how he lines the sides with our Washi Tape. Such an easy way to make such a sharp edge!
Supply List
DIY craft paper "Architecture & Alphabet"
Paper "Steampunk Debutante" collection
Metal key, washi tape and metal embellishments by Graphic45
Embellishments ( gear, chain, metal corners ) by Scrapunlimited

Now, Einat shows how to take an old baking tray and turning it into magic! We love this tutorial she has below. Also, check out that adorable banner made of chipboard - love it!
"I’m a big believer in up-cycling so I hardly throw anything. When I decided I don’t need this baking tray anymore I knew I won’t throw it away and keep it for the right project. Well…the right project is here. I turned my old baking tray into a magnetic bulletin board! The amazing DIY Craft Paper gave me the perfect opportunity to create this up-cycling because it’s not only beautiful it’s also big enough to cover the tray in one piece!
Tip #1: When you need to create 3D look use leftover pieces of chipboard to create the necessary height.
Tip #2: You don’t need to buy special magnets for this project. Recycle old magnets from your fridge." ~Einat
