What can I upcycle today? That's the first question I ask myself when starting a new craft project. If you're reading this right now, I know you often ask yourself that very same question.
Over the past year or so, I've meshed together recycling and crafting. The result: an arsenal of upcycled crafts for every month of the year.

When I first joined the Glue Dots design team in 2010, I was still

I've had the pleasure to discover. Over time, I realized that I love
turning trash into treasure and being eco-friendly in the craft room. What was the last thing you recycled while crafting? ~Danielle
