Years ago {long before this blog ever started}, my oldest son had a sports-themed room with a vintage tennis racquet used as a memo board. It was such a fun and simple project and it got me thinking about all the ways that you could repurpose a tennis racquet. Ready for some upcycled fun?
Great Ways to Upcycle an Old Tennis Racquet
You could add some fabric and cork to old racquets and turn them into fabric cork boards.
Paint an old racquet and use it as a jewelry holder.
Grab some yarn or embroidery thread and make some woven racquet wall art.
Add cork board behind the strings for another version of a racquet cork board.

… or a magazine rack for some sporty home decor.
Clip the strings away and add mirrors for a fun and unique idea.
Transform old racquets into chalkboards with some simple craft supplies.
