Recycling made beautiful
This Blog is literally just a shout out to the amazing businesses that I have come across or bought from, who make and sell up-cycled items from unwanted or recycled materials.
I have sectioned it into decor, clothing, Jewellery and kids stuff to make it easier.
Hopefully it will give you some ideas for Zero waste Christmas shopping too.
Please let me know of any other businesses you know of also.
