Recycled Crafts

Recycled crafts are any projects that use recycled materials or create another use for an old item. This is also called upcycling or repurposing. Because of this, you can save a lot of money in decorating.  And, who doesn’t like that? Not only will you be saving money but you are helping the planet by reusing what you can.

See how you can make affordable rustic decor using such recycled items as tin cans, sweaters, six pack containers, wine bottles, wine corks, buttons, game pieces, and so much more. You don’t have to spend a fortune on home decorating when you can repurpose or turn trash items into treasures.

Check out some of these favorite recycled crafts:
