Upcycling Crafts

What better way to lessen your ecological footprint than to reuse items that you were going to throw in the trash? Keep that milk carton and turn it into a reusable lunch box! Not only do these craft projects reduce the amount of garbage we produce, they provide cheap entertainment by utilizing items that you have already gotten some use out of.

Pinterest is a great way to come up with ideas on how to upcycle your old clothes, furniture, bottles, etc. These boards are devoted purely to D.I.Y. Upcycling projects. There's something there for everyone to enjoy!
