<blockquote><p>&#8220;If you&#8217;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? (&#8221;<em>Of course!</em> &#8220;) So do you ever think, <em>&#8220;why do I need a trash can at all</em> ?&#8221; What&#8217;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 &#8216;away&#8217;. Perish the thought!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center"><a href="http://www.sublimestitching.com/upcycle" target="_blank"><img class="size-large wp-image-71541 aligncenter" src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/2009/04/upcycle-contest-590x295.jpg" alt="upcycle-contest" width="498" height="249" /></a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So get creative, be thrifty and think twice about what you&#8217;re using!  Just click on the graphic to get all the details.</p>
