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

❤😊 LOVE them!
Thanks 😊
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.
Interesting thanks for the idea. 🙂
Wonderful ideas, thank you 😊
Thanks 😊
Be careful! Those are toxic cancerous fumes your breathing in..your pets too!
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.
Oh, I love them!
Thanks 😊
I can hardly wait to make these!!
Hope you have fun. Thanks for watching 😊
anyone know why you need to burn the cans first?
Hi you don't have to burn the cans but it makes the metal easier to work with. 🙂
I am definitely a fan of the flowers you make with the cans.👍👍
Thank you! 🙂
I love the idea I will use a large Styrofoam ball and tile it like a colorful disco ball
Thanks have fun 🙂
You can cut out silhouettes and use the can as a stencil for spray paints.
Thanks for watching and sharing your idea. 🙂
Is there a certain type of scissors to use for cutting the cans?
Hi Samantha - you don't need any special scissors. I just use an inexpensive pair of regular scissors. Thanks for watching 😊
Who the heck stole my name, Cindy? 😂
Well it was me I guess. 🤣🤣🤣
Love the ornaments sets
Thanks so much 🙂
Loveall your craft ideas
Thanks so much 😊
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.
Nice 😊
Do you have 2 channels? Because you talk and sound like the lady off of upcycled life.
This is my only channel. I think you are asking about Deidre from Our Upcycled Life she is very talented and has quite a following. I am flattered by the comparison. 🙂
Some very cool ideas! I’m venturing outwards from crocheting to other creative in other areas. Thank you for the cool ideas! Very helpful! 😊❤❤❤❤❤
