Fun With Upcycling!

As much as we love our bags over here, they aren’t the only things in the world that need reusing — not by a long shot. Sustainablog knows that dozens of unsuspecting items are just begging for a little bit of love and assisted reincarnation, and yesterday they graciously collected and handed down a few tips for turning something old into something fun.

1.) At Instructables, bike enthusiasts can turn old innertubes into new wallets.

Intrigued? There are five more ideas where that came from, ranging in difficulty from “lazy day afternoon fun” (see: belt cuff bracelets) to “industrious weekend project” (see: wood pallet lawn furniture). So why not get out there and build something new? Your old junk — junk no longer — will thank you for it.
