"What is upcycling? It basically means you reuse something that you may have thrown away. A classic example would probably be tearing up old shirts or t-shirts and using them as cleaning rags. Upcycling is an extension of recycling. Even if you change the use of an item, or customise it, you do not have to physically break down the material. To upcycle is to give something a makeover whereas to recycle is a litte more like reincarnation."
I really like this idea. You save money by upcycling and you have a chance at being creative. You can make a million things. There's really no limit to what you can do with upcycle. It can be something as easy making pots out of plastic or something crazy like wall decorations made out of retro luggages. It looks cool and is inexpensive. I say why not upcycle?
