The recycling movement has not only brought awareness to our effect on the environment, but it has also given rise to the upcycling trend. It allows us to take ordinary items that use recyclable materials like plastic and give them a makeover with a new purpose. There are so many ideas out there, particularly if you scan Pinterest, so you don't need to be the creative or innovative type to become an upcycler. The next time you're done with a recyclable item and go to throw it out, perform a quick Google search to see how it can be transformed.
