10 Ways To Recycle your TOMS Flag

So how many of you have a pair of TOMS out there? Either you love ’em or hate ’em but no one can deny how comfortable they are. I personally have a pair of black canvas ones and I love them. Great shoe to slip on with a pair of skinnies or boyfriend jeans and I think they are the ultimate ‘mom’ shoe. They are trendy, comfortable and easy to chase your kids in. Ok, enough about how much I enjoy my shoes after all this isn’t a fashion blog, it’s a DIY blog so let’s get onto the right topic here.

The other day I picked up a new pair of TOMS for Miss E and while I was going through the box I saw the cute little canvas flag that comes with them and thought, “hmm I wonder what I could do with this”. So I decided to pay Google a visit and see if anything was out there. Ok seriously, why would I ever question the craft world, of course someone has something amazing with them!

So here is a look at some of my favorite  Ways to Recycle Your TOMS Flag.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤
