POST your best upcycle project pictures here:
Win Valuable Prizes from
ReCreate & Beverly’s Fabric and Crafts.
Upcycling (v): to convert something
considered to be worthless or waste, and reuse it to make something of better
quality or for better environmental value.
Upcycling is rethinking the notion of waste, and repurposing something
to give it a new and better purpose.
Upcycling saves natural resources and money, by creatively reusing what
already exists. For examples of
upcycling, you can look here. (http://pinterest.com/recreate/upcycled-goodness/)
You know
who you are. Your mind is filled with ideas on how to repurpose that empty
cereal box, milk jug or pallet. Instead
of tossing that t-shirt with the impossible stain, you reconstruct it into the
cutest dress ever, for your daughter.
Your first stop is the thrift store (or dumpster), not the mall, when
you need something “new”. You are an
upcycler – creative, inventive and eco-friendly!
