Textile Techniques and Upcycling

Nora Kennedy

Abstract


Upcycling is the latest crafty buzzword, and it is directly related to the "greener living" phenomenon that is currently hip in our society. Upcycling is a noble initiative; it is the idea of repurposing would-be-trash items and materials into new items. These items, once reprocessed, can then eventually be used to create other "new" items, thus, eliminating trash altogether (TeenAngster, 2007).
