Upcycle for Christmas
Upcycling or recycling items for gifts will keep life simple and creative for the holidays.
What is upcycling? Upcycling is taking an item and creating it into a new item. This kind of creativity for your gifts will surely bring smiles and may even save you some money!
Here are some fun ideas
Brooch gift bow:
Simply take a vintage brooch and pin it onto you gift ribbon. You just upcycled your ribbon!
Vintage bow tie box ribbon:
Find a unique mens bow tie and turn it into a ribbon! What fun it will be to open that present and play dress up with the bow tie after.
Bookmark gift card:
For those hard to buy for individuals that you just end up buying a gift card for, try jazzing up their gift. For example if you purchase a book store gift card, attach a beautiful vintage bookmark to the card or attach it to the outside ribbon on the gift box. This simple idea adds so much thought to your gift.
