Upcycle DesignLab

Upcycle DesignLab

My mission is to inspire crafters to rethink the things they throw away by sharing unique and creative ways to use these seemingly valueless materials. This channel is about Upcycling unwanted and discarded items, in an endeavor to uncover their hidden value.

I love the creative process of making tangible things with my hands. And truly believe that crafting is therapy. It doesn't have to be expensive and it should be accessible to anyone with the desire to make something.

I enjoy the experimental process of transforming inexpensive and free materials into something new, better and maybe even beautiful.

Thanks for stopping by.
Cindy

    Get yourself a drop spindle. Not the ones you use with a bowl, a proper drop spindle. Chain your loops together before you start spinning. Spin your chain all at once, then ply your stands together. You might find a ball winder to be a great timesaver as well. Thanks for the vid, I've crocheted the strips before, but not spun them first. Definitely delivers a better looking result.

    On the 90s during goth and punk days u coukd buy nice pocketbook made from recycled tires. Very expensive but last forever! WITH these shopping bags..I woukd use them for cat litter. I need them but can't get them anymore so now I have to buy them. What's the point of supermarkets stopping using them..now I need to buy them! I get it. I'm a recycling freak. I recycle everything..but I need my garbage bags.

    We don't allow plastic grocery bags in our state anymore either so they are harder to come by.

    Hi you don't have to burn the cans but it makes the metal easier to work with. 🙂

    You can cut out silhouettes and use the can as a stencil for spray paints.

    My grandma did roses like this 50 years ago. She used regular short screws and a nut in the center and the bottom portion of the pop can as the base.
