Upcyling in the hobby sector

Upcycling has made its way into the crafting world. Bringing new life to old furniture and day-to-day objects is not only sustainable, it also has the advantage that the newly made products are often much more practical and beautiful than the old items. Whether made of wood, metal, glass or plastic, upcycling means creating something useful from objects that are no longer needed.

The scarcity of raw materials has always led people to save old things and create new uses for them. You too can reuse the old and repurpose items that might otherwise end up in the rubbish. Upcycling projects are possible even on a small budget and are also environmentally friendly. You can find inexpensive craft materials for your upcycling project, such as paints, glues, varnishes or wooden items, in the VBS online shop.
