TikTok user Sarah Terensinski, who runs the account Redeux Style, shared her top repurposing suggestions for common kitchen items.

For her first tip, Sarah suggested finding a new use for that decorative rolling pin in your kitchen drawer.

“I have this beautiful marble rolling pin but to be honest, I never use it because I’m not a big baker,” she explained.

“I thought it was so cool, I decided to take a couple of hooks and mount it to the side of my island, and use it as a holder for a towel,” Sarah told her followers.

Next, the TikToker shared a DIY hack for keeping flies away from your food.

“Next up: strainers. I always purchase these when I see them at the thrift store,” she said.

Sarah explained: “I give them a good clean up and I use all different sizes to cover up my sides when I want to keep flies off of things. They work perfectly and they’re easy, you can take them on and off.”

When adding a pop of color or a natural fresh scent to your home with flowers, don’t spend a fortune on a vase.

“I’m always on the hunt for brass or sterling silver wine chillers. So whenever I see them thrifting, I grab them and I use them for flowers,” Sarah told viewers.

And finally, the TikTok user and DIY expert shared another decorating tip.

“I love mini muffin tins because they fit tea lights perfectly. This is a really fun way that I’ll just add a mini candle situation around my house when I’m entertaining,” she said.

Sarah’s followers took to the TikTok comments section to share their thoughts on the DIY hacks.

“Love all upcycling. You have very inspiring ideas,” commented one viewer.

Another user wrote: “I have that exact rolling pin, I love the idea for it. Though I still might do it, then just take it out when I need it.”

“The muffin tin would be a cool idea to put tea light Citronella candles in for a BBQ or camping,” said a third person.
