Creative Upcycling Contest

Sublime Stitching, Fred Flare & Amy Butler have gotten together to create one of the coolest crafting contests I’ve seen in a long time!  They want to inspire you to upcycle:

“If you’re like us, you recycle glass plastic and paper, compost your food waste and take your own shopping bag when you go to the store. Right? (”Of course! “) So do you ever think, “why do I need a trash can at all ?” What’s going in there? Well, take a look at the leftovers, get inspired, and create some handmade treasures from so-called trash! We wanna see how you can creatively re-purpose items that you have lying around the house, unused, or that might haveotherwise ended up getting thrown ‘away’. Perish the thought!”

Upcycling can be as simple as using fabric that was going to be thrown out or as detailed and complex as creating a masterpiece from scrounged materials.

So get creative, be thrifty and think twice about what you’re using!  Just click on the graphic to get all the details.
