On top of saving yourself some money, upcycling also benefits the planet by keeping things out of ever-growing landfills. Crafting is a great bonding activity for a family or group of friends, and it’s also great as “me” time. Even recycling has its environmental costs. It’s always better to reuse than recycle!
