10 Easy DIY and Upcycled Crafts to Make
DIY and Upcycled crafts can be so much fun to make together. Or perhaps even on your own. There is no need to toss things in the garbage or the recycling if you can give them a second life. That spares money and materials and is simply better for the planet.

I think it might actually be a generational thing, as in Generation Z seems to be naturally inclined to care for the environment and reuse things a bit better than we ever did. That might just be my observation. I am curious to know if you have found the same.
Here are several of my favourite upcycled crafts to make. These would be perfect for the restless last few days of summer or maybe for the first few cozy days of fall too. What have you upcycled lately?

Upcycling Can Be Simple
Upcycled crafts can be super simple. Sometimes, it’s as easy as turning your old t-shirts into pillows, or chopping up jeans, into cutoffs. Old clothing can often be repurposed into household items, purses, pillow cases, blankets and, of course everyone has made something new out of Mason Jars at one point or another.
