Why Upcycle?

"A closet full of nothing to wear." A phrase that most women probably find themselves thinking on occasion (or what feels like everyday in my case). No matter how much we would like love to go out and buy something new every time we need to find something to wear, us college gals are on tight budget. So this is exactly why we turned to "upcycling".

"Upcycling" is a term that basically means recycle your old things into new things by the process of fun and interesting DIY (do it yourself) projects. Since Sarah and I (Rachel) find ourselves in this position more often than not, we decided we would make a blog sharing our ideas with other people to let them know that upcycling is not only frugal, but it can be easy and actually really fun! So gather up all your old t-shirts, out-of-date jeans, and whatever else you have stashed in a pile of things you never wear and DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT throw them away! They are about to be changed from trash into treasure.
