Upcycling

Easy upcycling projects that use furniture and other “garbage” from around the home. I love keeping things out of the landfill and it brings me so much joy to find ways to make treasure out of trash.

Have something that’s broken? Before sending it to the landfill, learn what parts can be saved to be used on other projects. That zipper on a worn through backpack might be the perfect zipper for a new tote bag made from upcycled jeans. I try to make use of what I can before sending things to the landfill, recycling center, or compost.

These upcycled products are used in sewing projects, furniture makeovers, woodworking, and crafts.
