Take Our Upcycle Challenge!
What is Upcycling?
Upcycling is what you call it when you repurpose trash. It could also be called a “creative re-use”. By definition it is the process of taking something unwanted or worthless and turning it into something better.
How to Participate:
Taking the challenge is as easy as repurposing a tin can as a flower vase. Give items destined for the landfill a second chance at life! Once you’ve upcycled your item, take a photo and post it in the comment section below, or tag the library so we can share your idea! You can also leave a comment with some of the ways you reuse and repurpose your items. The more ideas the better!
What Can I Repurpose?
- items from the recycling bin or trash
- something old and broken that can’t be used for it’s original purpose
- old clothes that are too damaged or stained to be donated or handed down
- just about anything!
What Can I Make?
- storage containers
- artwork
- clothing or accessories
- toys or activities
- home décor and lawn décor
- whatever you can dream up!
For more ideas, check out the library’s TikTok @smithsfalls_library for instructional videos.
