Why Upcycle?

Upcycling is one of the smartest, most creative, and inexpensive ways to upgrade your life. By finding simple items at home or at your local thrift store, you can unleash your artsy side and make some truly unique creations. There’s seemingly no end to what can be done, and to prove that here’s some of the wildest DIY transformations you never thought you would see.

Candles melt away over time anyways, so why not replace them with something more permanent?

A stylish knife rack! Just remember to clean and dry your knives before and after use.

No one ever knows what to do with old silverware anyways, but now you can turn them into stylish hooks for your kitchen!

Ever look at a sweater and think: “Boy, that would look really good as a pillow!”. No? You will now.

Upcycling at it’s finest: Turn the spines of those unrepairable classics into bookmarks.

Drawers are great for holding all sorts of things, but who says they have to be confined to the dressers they came in?

Great for displaying recipes while you cook!

Sure, the globe lost most of it’s practicality, but this makeover turned it into a fabulous decoration!

Every item you see above can be commonly found at New 2 You so that you can start upcycling today!
