May We Suggest

Upcycling and sustainability books to help you waste less

Crafting and hobbies can become expensive, especially if you need to buy new supplies and equipment. By upcycling — taking something that would go to waste, like scrap fabric, and turning it into something valuable — you can save money, create something one of a kind and help the environment.

Our December 2022 Create newsletter focused on upcycling and sustainability. Here are a few of the titles we highlighted. You can sign up for a newsletter any time!
