Evette Rios is back with some great ways to turn the old into something new and funky.

WINE CRATE OTTOMAN - Now you have somewhere to prop your feet up while you enjoy a glass of vino.

What You'll Need:

• Staple gun with staples
  
• Cordless drill with Phillips head bit
  
• Scissors
  
• 2 wooden wine crates of equal size (if you don't have them, ask for them at your local wine store)
  
• 12 screws for use in wood
  
• 4 locking casters
  
• 2 leather belts with metal buckles
  
• 2 sets of hinges
  
• Large kitchen dish towel with a cool pattern
  
• Dark 1-inch ribbon in a complementary color to the dish towel
  
• Stuffing or batting used for upholstery

Step-By-Step Instructions:

• Attach the casters to the 4 corners of the bottom of one of the wine crates

• Stack the other wine crate on top of the other with the open side down

• Screw the hinges into the back of each of the crates so that the crates can hinge open and closed

• Cut both of the leather belts in half

• Staple the belts onto the top and bottom of the ottoman; make sure that you staple the side with the buckle to the top of the ottoman

• Wrap batting over the top of the ottoman; staple around to keep the batting in place

• Stretch the kitchen dish towel over the batting and then staple around

• Wrap the ribbon over the edge of the kitchen towel to conceal the staples and staple it on every 4-6 inches to keep the ribbon in place

• Now store some stuff in your ottoman and put your feet up!

COOKIE CUTTER MOBILE - Since babies can't have cookies, inspire sweet dreams of them instead

What You'll Need:

• Scissors
  
• Needle-nosed pliers
  
• Wire cutters
  
• 6 aluminum cookie cutters
  
• Nylon fishing line
  
• Decorative beads
  
• Ribbon
  
• 3 wire hangers
  
• Elmer's-type wood glue

Step-By-Step Instructions:

• Cut the long portion of the hanger off using your wire cutters

• Using your needle-nosed pliers, twist a loop into the center of the straight length of wire; make sure that your loop is centered so your mobile is balanced and repeat for all three lengths of wire hanger

• Using your needle nosed pliers twist little loops into the two ends of each of the three lengths of wire hanger

• Use ribbon and glue to decorate each of the cookie cutters however you'd like

• Using the nylon fishing line, tie on a cookie cutter. Repeat this for all six cookie cutters

• Add a few beads to each length of fishing line

• Use a simple slip knot to attach the cookie cutters until you are sure that both sides are balanced. Add more beads to each side until both sides are perfectly balanced.

• Use fishing line to connect each of the layers of wire hanger to one another

• Hang up your mobile and enjoy!

CUTLERY CHANDELIER - Get funky! Hang this lamp over your kitchen table for inspiration and illumination.

What You'll Need:

• 24 pieces of assorted silver flatware
  
• 1 16-inch aluminum pie/quiche pan with removable bottom
  
• 1 12-inch aluminum pie/quiche pan with removable bottom
  
• 14 inches of aluminum or stainless steel chain
  
• Cordless drill with 1/4-inch metal bit
  
• 40 stainless steel or aluminum "S" hooks
  
• Sharpie Marker
  
• Wood block to give you stability as you are drilling
  
• Ready-made clear colored lamp socket with plug attached
  
• 1 clear 75-watt bulb
  
• Thin aluminum wire
  
• Needle-nosed pliers

Step-By-Step Instructions:

• Remove the bottoms of each of the pie/quiche pans

• Using a permanent marker, mark 3 holes, equal distance apart on the bottom of the 16-inch pie pan

• Using a permanent marker, mark on the side walls of the 16-inch pie pan

• Using a permanent marker, mark 4 holes equal distance apart on the bottom of the 12-inch pie pan

• Mark holes at 1 1/2-inch intervals around the side walls of both the 16-inch and 12-inch pie pan

• Using your cordless drill, drill through the marks to create all of your holes on both of the pie pans; you will need to brace the pans against a wood block while you drill

• Attach your "S" hooks to each of the 3 holes on the bottom of the 16-inch pie pan

• Cut 3 14-inch lengths of chain (use your pliers to open a link to create equal lengths of chain)

• Hook each of the lengths of chain on to each of the 3 "S" hooks

• Using your needle-nosed pliers, pinch each of the three "S" hooks closed

• Bring the 3 8-inch lengths of chain together and attach an "S" hook to create the fixture's canopy

• Attach "S" hooks to each of the 4 holes on the bottom of the 12-inch pie pan

• Attach "S" hooks to each of the 4 holes on the sides of the 16-inch pie pan

• Cut 4 8-inch lengths of chain

• Attach each of your 4 8-inch lengths of chain to the "S" hooks in both the 12-inch and 16-inch pie pan

• Hook your "S" hooks onto each of the holes that you made 1 1/2 inches apart from one another

• Drill holes into each of the handles of your pieces of silverware; try to make sure that you make the hole as close the edge as possible so that the "S" hook will not be difficult to loop through

• Hook on an "S" hook to each of the pieces of silverware, use your pliers to tighten up each hook so the silverware doesn't slip out

• Hook your lamp up somewhere so that you can work around it easily

• Hook each piece of silverware into the holes that you already made -- you can hang the silverware either in or out. On the show I hung them out, but it is totally your preference

• Drop the lamp socket into the fixture and hook the cord through the top "S" hook on the lamp

• Attach a length of chain to the top S hook. You can cut this chain as long as you'd like -- this is the length of the drop of the fixture.

• Using short lengths of aluminum wire, tie the cord onto the length of chain to conceal the cord

• Hang up your fixture to a hook in your ceiling. Make sure that this hook is nice and sturdy since your finished fixture will be relatively heavy

• Plug in your chandelier and enjoy!
