Defining my own Definition

WHY UPCYCLE?

Upcycle is a word that is being used as a noun and as a verb that reforms the whole meaning of recycling. It is more of RECYCLE WITH A STYLE which transforms an ordinary USED item into another USABLE item. In my opinion it is an art, a technique that only some people has the talent in interpreting the items they see around them. For most, the THRASH in their eyes is actually a TREASURE in the UPCYCLER’s eyes. 

The pen holder is upcycled from 5 pieces of cassette boxes. I put felt at the bottom and there you are a pen holder. Cassette boxes turned to pen holder.
