Upcycling

Have you heard of the term ‘upcycling’? It means converting a used product into something useful again, in terms of better quality and being better for the environment. What is this all about? Well, it’s really about using your creativity to generate a useful, fun product that can benefit your friends or yourself.

Here is a link, ‘upcycled-products‘, for cool upcycling ideas, originally brought to my attention by a friend of mine.

This list has 30 creative upcycling ideas. I quite like the old bottles used as shades for pendant lamps, the light bulbs made into oil lamps, and the portable bagel holder made from a DVD tower case that made me laugh! How about you, do you have any favorites or novel ideas you would like to share?
