Old cupboard doors might seem like something that belong in the garbage, but there are actually so many creative ways you can give them new life! In fact, they’re one of the best materials out there for making upcycled DIY projects.
However, don’t go ripping off your kitchen cupboard doors (unless your kitchen is in need of a makeover!) You should be able to find all sorts of cupboard doors at garage sales and thrift stores.
1. Kid’s art desk (h/t U Create )
These fun little desks are the perfect way to give your kids a special place to do their artwork! The little cubbies hidden under the doors are fairly shallow, but they’re deep enough to keep your children’s art projects safely hidden away until they’re all done.

2. Art easel (h/t House On Harrison)
This easy-to-make chalkboard easel would be great for kids, but it could also be used as a sign for your next party or special event. I’d even be tempted to add a bit of cork to the bottom and use it as an indoor memo board!

3. Simple serving tray
Whether you want to bring someone breakfast in bed or carry a few drinks out to the patio, a beautiful serving tray is always useful! This project couldn’t be easier to make — all you need to do is attach a pair of handles to a nice cupboard door!
