Join ReStore's Fall Flip Contest
Kick off autumn with a festive DIY contest!
ReStore is excited to announce our summer upcycle challenge: the Spring Into Summer Contest! We want you to share your best summer DIY project featuring ReStore items. Think yard/lawn art, birdhouses, garden boxes, patio sets, etc. - anything with a spring-summer vibe. Here are the basics:
Use the form on the contest page to register. After you sign up, you will be emailed a $50 ReStore coupon to shop for your project.
Visit a ReStore location to shop for the perfect piece to transform. You can also shop for the materials to update an item you already own. Think creatively!
Do your thing! Upcycle your ReStore item or something you already have by giving it a fresh new look for the warmer days to come. The item can also be a way to liven up your lawn.
When your project is complete, email before-and-after photos of your DIY project. You can simply reply to the email with the coupon. We also invite you to share a few sentences about your project. (Limit one entry per person.)
The top three winners will receive Visa gift cards (first place: $100, second place: $50, third place: $25).
If you want to upcycle but don't know where to start, view entries from our 2022 Spring Upcycle Challenge for DIY inspiration. These crafty submissions include everything from reupholstering furniture to transforming a hutch into a plant stand!
You can also check out some easy DIY Upcycling Ideas while you're at it. Whatever you're working on this summer, we want to see it!
Use the hashtag #ReStoreSpringIntoSummer23 when posting your progress on social media!
