Reduce, Reuse, Recycle & Upcycle: A Brand New Wardrobe

March 4, 2014 by AllFreeSewing

Green CraftingIf you are looking for a way to save money and be on-trend, this is the place to be. These Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Upcycle: A New Wardrobe on a Dime tips all help you create some fabulous new pieces for your wardrobe. Spring cleaning is just around the corner. Soon it will time to devote a weekend (or two) to decluttering your space. My favorite way to spring clean is to clean out my closet. I have so many items I never ever wear that are just taking up too much room in my closet. I can never force myself to throw these away. It just feels like you are throwing away money! This is why I enjoy using the reduce, reuse, recycle, and upcycle method. These super easy tips will help you create some adorable new pieces for little to no money!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Upcycle Your Clothes.

Refashioning and Upcycling
If you have any pieces of clothing in your closet that you do not wear because of a silly reason like a tiny flaw or stain, consider using a super simple craft or technique to cover it up. These easy crafts help you save a stained, poorly fitting, or just plain boring piece.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Upcycle Your Home.

There are so many materials around the house that you can use to create interesting wardrobe pieces. Those old curtains or pillowcases? They can be a brand new skirt or dress.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Upcycle for Everyone else.

Once you have done all the upcycling you possibly can for yourself, there are still plenty of other options out there. These projects help you create upcycled crafts that you can use to accessorize, dress your kids, or dress your home.
