Call us Artist or call us Engineers, there seems to be many of us, like myself, that can direct our creativeness in a positive way. I see them more and more at craft shows and on the web. People are taking used and discarded items and giving them a new life, a new purpose. Upcycling provides uniqueness in a progressive way and can be more resourceful than recycling .

My mission with A Creative Shade of Green is to impose the idea that you really can create quality from something old or discarded by promoting those who have dedicated themselves to inventively reusing what they find or have.

I would like to present my ideas as well as others like myself that share a similar mission. Hence…

Upcycle a Suitcase?


Live Learn and Improve
 

Think about it!  As soon as someone thought to attach wheels to suitcases the old hard-case suitcase was discarded or stashed in a closet somewhere.  These artists have come up with a few very unique ideas on how to upcycle  suitcases instead of tossing them to the dumpster.
 

The idea of a pet bed made from an upcycled suitcase is the best I’ve seen yet. I really liked this artist’s style.

These recycled suitcase chairs are far from a beginner project but the results are impressive. I especially like the artists choice in fabric.

Photos, Instructions, and Suggestions on how to upcycle a suitcase to an end table. I really like this idea. I’m a big fan of hidden storage spaces since I have a toddler.

Upcycling has endless opportunities. What ever your working with the end result is always unique. 
I plan on devoting next week to glass jars. Check back to see what we come up with.
