Upcycling: Transforming waste materials or used items (a.k.a. obtainium) into something new and useful, thereby reducing waste in a creative way.
Obtainium: that which can be obtained instead of consuming new
We truly believe in upcycling. Inspiration comes from our love of old stuff and our aversion to consuming new things. Our world is so cluttered with disposable goods, so we challenge ourselves to build what we need out of obtainium.
Here are a few easy ways to repurpose old stuff:
Kitchen ware = planters 
Vintage pillowcase = gift wrap 
Antique bottle rack = Christmas tree 
Wool sweater = gauntlets 
Wood stove + cement slab = table 
Bird bath = planter 
Neck ties = bustle 
Wooden ladder = trellis 
Riveted belt = hat band 
Toilet = garden 
Hardware = Steampunk accent 
Wagon = rolling plant stand 
Cabinet door = key rack 
Wood crates = shelving 
Table cloth = bloomers 
Tea kettle = succulent garden 
Bino case = hip pouch 
Wood box = utility shelf 
Cashmere sweater = neck warmer 
Wood crate = vertical garden 
Zippered food pouch = reusable mailer 
Wool sweater = Pillow 
Obtainium = Steampunk medal
