The new crib standards put into effect on June 28, 2011 by the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) have left many people wondering what to do with outdated cribs that can no longer be legally sold or even given away to be used as a baby bed. Luckily, there are plenty of creative and crafty people out there turning old cribs destined for the landfill into new and useful things that no longer pose a safety risk. Whether you are a seasoned carpenter with a garage full of tools or you’re just looking for a quick project, the repurposed, recycled and upcycled cribs below will provide inspiration to reinvent your old crib.
