Upcycling 

Upcycling is the process of recreating new items from used or unwanted materials. It is an innovative way for anyone to reduce waste anywhere at any time – you can be as creative as you want to be. The materials, methods and use of upcycled items are completely up to you and there are no limitations to what you can make.

​

Below are examples of upcycling from people who have purchased items from Foster Op Shop and Collectables as well as examples from other clever up-cyclers. Come in and rummage to find the perfect items to start or continue your upcycling adventure.
