March 2012 is National Craft Month! Team Upcyclers has been celebrating the wonderful world of crafting by bringing you an entire month of Upcycled Craft Supplies! Each Thursday during the month of March we are highlighting our Etsy shops that provide UPCYCLED crafting supplies.  

The best news, each featured shop is providing our readers with exclusive sales and coupons!

Here are this week's THREE amazing upcycled handmade crafters!

First up...


Mike opened his eco-friendly t-shirt yarn shop on in January of 2011. He has been amazingly successful in his first year and it's not hard to see why!


Mike prides himself on using repurposed materials, and only selects unwanted tshirts that have amazing colors! Check out this Light Blue Tie Dye Yarn.
  
I love this warm Recycled Lemon Yellow Tarn, which comes in bulk!

Our second shop of this week's feature is...


Brizel Supplies sells a variety of vintage sewing buttons and novelty fabrics. One of my favorite things is how well this shop organizes this unique collection of supplies. Wood, metal, plastic, glass, shell, and rhinestone buttons can all be found in this gorgeous shop!

I loved these vintage wood buttons!
And how pretty are these Primrose vintage metal buttons?!

Oh the crafts I would do with this mix of assorted blue vintage sewing buttons!
