Upcycle Crafts

Hi All! I hope you had a great weekend.

Upcycle. What exactly is ‘upcycling’? Basically, upcycling is using an item that no longer has any worth to you to create something that has value or is useful. There are so many creative ways to upcycle things that we throw away on a daily basis. 

I thought it would be fun to showcase a round up of craft projects made from items that would most likely end up in the trash. Check out these fabulous upcycled craft ideas I found on Pinterest.

Have you upcycled products? What have you created?

  1. Oh yes. I have turned potting benches into coffee bars, and the list goes on. I always stand back from something, take note of what it has and what that could be used for. I love these things more than any other furniture I own!

    1. I just love your coffee station you made out from a potting bench. You always have such unique ideas. Your kitchen is something to really be admired. Thanks for visiting.

  2. I hate to ask here, but I cannot access your email because it goes to Windows and then says I can't use it. You might want to just put your email on your blog someplace. (TIP: And where it should have @, you might want to just type in "at" so they can't just use the link.) What I wanted to ask is: Have I featured you on Welcome Wagon yet? I could go back through the posts, but thought it just easier to ask.
