Most builders just throw away the leftovers because the customer has already paid for the materials, and they do not have storage facilities for all the bits of wood not used. Make sure you ask first. Some pieces of wood did have nails in them but removing a nail is cheaper than buying the wood.

There were also some pieces that were warped, I cut them into smaller pieces for other projects. A lot of this wood was used to make a stud frame when I covered up the brick wall in my lounge.

So my cost for the new wall was minimal. Plywood is another item that you can find on building sites or from homes doing renovations. I collect all the offcuts and on many occasions, I have managed to get large pieces up to 2 meters that just need to be cleaned up.

These are great as backing boards for mirrors and picture frames. I also have a scrap heap of offcuts which are old fence posts, and other scraps of wood I removed from the striped furniture. I use these in areas of my project that will not be seen.

Old wooden doors are also a great source of wood, so keep a lookout. I had a local guy contact me saying he was stripping out his old kitchen and would I like the old doors. I jumped at the offer and created this headboard from the old doors.

Recycle all the legs from old broken furniture, you will be surprised how often you will need them if restoring furniture is your hobby. Or if you build from scratch it is a very cheap alternative to buying them. The below were just perfect for my latest restoration of an antique dresser.

I even go as far as reusing all the nuts and bolts and screws that I remove from stripped-down furniture. I use all the old ones in areas that you can not see.

And my new stock for all visible areas. If you are able to remove the old screws without damaging the top, you can even reuse them.

Through word of mouth, I was offered the wood from a tree that had fallen down on a farm in the area. I just had to go and cut what I wanted.

So keep a lookout for fallen trees. Again ask first. These are great for garden decor or for cutting wood slices for displays.

If you are handy with a chainsaw or axe you can cut out the middle to make planters for your succulents. PVC pipe is another item that has become very popular with all sorts of crafts being made with them.

Thanks to Pinterest Here are my latest PVC pipe photo planters. These have also been saved from building sites and offcuts from plumbing supplies. For a lot of my projects, I have needed foam to pad cushions, chairs, and pet beds.

I put an advert out for free or very cheap foam mattresses. Which I just cut to size, wash and reuse. I also keep old pillows and cushions which I wash and use as stuffing. Old couch cushions middle picture are also great to keep because they are usually made from high-quality foam which is very expensive.

A steam cleaner can be used to clean them all up. The items above were used to make this handmade chaise lounge made from scratch. If you are lucky enough to live near a wood mill as I do, they generally have a reject bin for wood not up to the quality they require and you can help yourself.

If you can not repair the furniture that you are given, repurpose it. With a little bit of imagination and some browsing through Pinterest, you can get some great ideas for repurposing furniture.

If you cannot restore the wood which is what I prefer to do you can always use Chalk paint, which I find hides all the blemishes and defects. This bench below was made from an old headboard and foot from two different beds. Where I live we have a recycling centre that has a shop for furniture that people have dumped that they feel is too good to throw away.

And these can be picked up for next to nothing. To keep the cost of the items I do buy down, this is how I do it. I buy all my fabrics and materials in bulk from China, usually in meter lengths. Supplies will give you a discount if you buy multiple items from them.

Always go for king size, more fabric for your money, and they are much cheaper than lining or calico. I buy all my accessories from China too. Plan ahead for projects, so all items needed can be ordered on time.

I order my sanding discs in bulk and I can get discs from China for the same price as I pay for 10 in my local hardware store. You used to have to wait months for a delivery from China, but nowadays I seem to get my orders within 2 weeks. I have a bin next to my table saw and mitresaw in which I keep all my very small scraps of wood.

Not even these go to waste. I use a scrap piece of wood and glue all the small offcuts onto the surface. I turn these into wall art for my home and to sell.
