1. Paint Your Own Christmas Decor

This holiday season, add a personal touch to your tree with Paguro’s Inner Tube Baubles. These upcycled baubles are perfect for customisation, offering a sleek canvas for eco-friendly paints. Whether you want to keep them minimal with subtle accents or create a vibrant holiday palette, the options are endless! For a coordinated look, you can also use our Upcycled Electrical Wire Earrings as decorative baubles. Hang them alongside your inner tube decorations for an eco-friendly yet stylish Christmas tree. Don’t forget to apply a waterproof seal to ensure your creations last year after year.

2. Hen Party Crafting: Paint Your Own Inner Tube Jewellery

Looking for a sustainable and fun hen party activity? Try a paint-your-own inner tube jewellery session! You and your friends can customise Paguro’s inner tube bracelets, necklaces or earrings with bright colours, patterns, or meaningful designs. Each piece can be a wearable memento of the special day, and the eco-friendly nature of the activity aligns with a zero-waste celebration. You can even paint our home decor range too! After painting, apply a waterproof seal to ensure your designs stay fresh and vibrant.

3. Wedding Day Jewellery Selection: Coordinated Yet Unique

Planning a wedding and looking for the perfect accessories for your bridal party? Paguro’s upcycled jewellery collection offers a range of stylish, sustainable pieces that look cohesive while allowing each person to express their individuality. With products made from inner tubes, electrical wires, and recycled brass, there’s something for everyone. Make a day of it with your bridesmaids by choosing pieces that coordinate beautifully while catering to each person's style.
And don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten the groomsmen! Our upcycled bike chain range includes earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and even cufflinks, perfect for adding an edgy yet elegant touch to the groomsmen’s outfits. Additionally, our skateboard range includes similar items that complement our plant resin range, as both collections are made from skateboard offcuts. With these unisex pieces, your bridal and groomsmen parties can match each other effortlessly, regardless of gender. Plus, the sustainable nature of the accessories means your wedding style will have a positive impact on the planet!

 

4. Embroider or Paint Your Army Tent Bags

Our army tent bags are the perfect canvas for your creative ideas. Whether you’re into embroidery or prefer painting, you can add your own personalised touch to these sturdy, upcycled bags. Paint on memorable locations, doodles, or quotes that inspire you. You could even keep a travel journal on your bag, painting or embroidering a new design after each trip. As always, make sure to seal your painted designs to protect them from the elements!

 

5. Customise Your Inner Tube Bags

Just like with our inner tube baubles, our inner tube bags offer a smooth, matte surface that is ideal for customisation. Whether you want to paint your favourite design or add a pop of colour, the possibilities are endless. This DIY project allows you to truly make your Paguro bag your own, turning it into a one-of-a-kind accessory.

 

6. Transform Earrings Into Unique Gifts

Paguro’s upcycled earrings can be transformed into more than just wearable pieces—they can become personalised gifts and home decor! Try attaching our colourful earrings to picture frames or using them as bookmarks. You can even incorporate them into DIY shadow boxes for a special, eco-friendly touch. These pieces make thoughtful gifts, especially for loved ones who appreciate sustainability.
