{15 Upcycled Projects Just in Time for Earth Day}

April 17, 2014

Earth Day is coming soon.   I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to upcycle projects and I am sharing 15 Upcycled projects I’ve done here on Second Chance to Dream.
Second Chance to Dream: 15 Upcycled Projects #upcycled #DIY #earthday Here are 15 upcycled projects that I've created on Second Chance to Dream. I'm positive you'll find something to inspire you.
What is the definition of upcycling?

verb
  1. 1.
    reuse (discarded objects or material) in such a way as to create a product of a higher quality or value than the original.
    “the opportunity to upcycle trash, or turn it into new products, was vast”
 
 
This project was created from an old window I bought at a garage sale for $5.00.  I love looking at it in my garden.

    Great collection! Some of the best ideas come from re-using everyday things like the bird bath. Visiting from The DIY Collective. Victoria @DazzleWhileFrazzled recently posted...Roll Out, Fuel Up, Take Charge – FREE PrintableMy Profile
