Be Inspired by Upcycling Trash to Treasure




There are so many materials that are found from the trash that can be turned into treasure that it is mind-boggling. Take for example the used aluminum cans.

Every day, all the time someone is drinking from a can. The cans are thrown into rubbish and then if lucky they are recycled to other products through the waste management system. Aluminum is worth something to someone.

But what if you intervened and collected some and cut then up to make pretty jewelry out of them. Then you would be making your trash to such treasure that can be used for a long time. You would also be considered an ecologically intelligent person.


The social media, especially Pinterest is full of ideas of what to do and how to use the materials. You will never be bored. There is so much information around that it will make your upcyckling experience worth the trouble.

You can just marvel about how much thought the designers are putting into the look of each can. There are endless array of patterns and colour schemes.

Let's for example guess from which drink cans these adorable rings are cut from. Upcycling trash to treasure can be very inspirational!


Happy crafting by upcycling everyone!
