Upcycling

What there’s not to like about upcycling? You transform your old stuff into useful things. Instead of throwing them away in landfills, you can come up with some creative ways to recycle, upcycle, and repurpose them to keep using them in your home in modified forms and structures. Here you will find some ideas such as using cereal or unused boxed to create organizers, turn jars into pencil holders, or creating a cute jewelry organizer from fruit crates.
