Did you know that the Cambridge English Dictionary named “upcycling” the word of the year in 2019? In a world literally choking on the overabundance of trash, household and industrial waste, this was very timely. Using waste to create something useful, recycling, and always aspiring to zero waste.
However, you can create things from trash that are not only useful but also beautiful! For example, the Internet nowadays is full of photos of true works of art created by people who one day decided to apply their creative approach to recycling. And they created something truly amazing - just take a look!
#61 Dewman Keeps The Ocean Clean For A Very Reasonable $750
Description:
Dewman! I don't really want to get rid of him but for the right price I can sell him and make more art out of 2 liter bottles therefore recycling more bottles and keeping them out of the ocean.

#62 School Project For Our Daughter. The Assignment Was Simple: Create Anything You Want Out Of Recycled Materials. Somehow We Ended Up With… Elise?
I’m not even sure whether to flair this under. My husband saw it first y’all. The top is sooooooo Elise coded. Is this not something she would wear? 90day is our guilty pleasure. I gotta have my 90 day like clockwork— WEEKLY. my husband knew of it before we got married, but after we sealed the deal I had him watching it faithfully, every episode, now he’s hooooooooked. Sundays and Mondays are just for us. We even do the Facebook hack to watch them since HBO doesn’t get the episodes until next day (yeah we… we can’t wait). This season of BT90D is GOLDEN, I’m talking it’s giving OG 90 day vibes. I know it’s mostly scripted, but at least the producers are finally *listening* when it comes to new cast members, and it looks like the upcoming season is about to be even better than this one. Anyways, enjoy our Elise. I *do* wonder what my daughter’s teacher is gonna think when we turn it in. Edit: My husband wanted me to tell you guys this: originally, he only did the top covers (in proper Elise fashion) when he brought up it looks like.. well.. Elise. It was only then I said well.. this is for an elementary school project so.. shouldn’t we give her more of a.. shirt? So that’s how she ended up with the extra strap. Would have been way more accurate without the blue strap over the stomach.

#63 I Recycled Plugs That Didn’t Fit Me To Make A Nice 2” Pair
It’s virtually impossible to find a nice 2” pair or larger without having to custom order so I decided to make my own out of epoxy resin and an old seahorses pair that I really like. It took about 3 days for them to cure and I couldn’t be happier, I made a few others that I’m not as proud of so they aren’t worth sharing. To make these were 3x cheaper than buying a new pair of a custom made pair. I’m super happy with myself and I’d highly recommend trying it out if you’re into arts and crafts.
