What is Upcycling?
Upcycling is the art of turning unused waste materials and items into more valuable items. If you love your planet, and I know you do, then instead of buying crafts materials, just use the ones that are already around your house....plastic bottles, bottle caps, cans, plastic bags, etc. Instead of throwing these materials into a trash heap in a landfill somewhere, learn how to use these materials to make new, even better, items with.
What Items and Materials Can I Upcycle With?
The question should be ... What CAN'T I upcycle with. Basically anything can be upcycled. Just a few example of what you can upcycle with....cardboard boxes, paper towel tubes, toilet paper tubes, markers, plastic bags, milk jugs, containers and caps, jars, rubber bands, clothes pins, amongst many many other things.
