Upcycled DECor
Holidays are approaching. And no matter what the celebration, many people choose to decorate. This year, start a new tradition and make your own upcycled decorations. Doing so can repurpose items may have been discarded in the trash, help our environment, and allow you to be creative. You can also make these decorations while spending time with family and friends. Need some inspiration? Five Rivers in Delmar (just outside of Albany) is hosting a “Upcycled Ornament” making event this month. Prior to this event, some tips and techniques were gathered from Five Rivers staff. Put on some holiday music, grab a cup of cocoa, bring your creativity, a few odds and ends, and prepare to create some Upcycled DECor.
Upcycling – where materials are repurposed and reused. The item, which is the result, has greater value than the original.
