National Upcycling Day

Dig out those unused clothes, accessories, even furniture and "upcycle" them into something new with a bit of creativity and tender loving care. Upcycling is a growing trend that's still under the radar for some. Simply, it's all about taking old objects and furniture, and adding your own creativity and craft to make it something new, unique and beautiful. National Upcycling Day is all about celebrating the art of upcycling. However, with that art also comes the focus on sustainable use of household goods, recycling items instead of being wasteful, and the many different ways we can reuse things that we might think are completely useless at first glance.
