Congrats to Our Handmade Top Ten Finalists!

Our team rocked the Handmadeology contest this past two weeks with over 90,000 votes for our Handmade Top 10 List! And even though we didn't win the contest, we still feel like winners! We had 138 submissions to the list from Upcyclers' members and we thank each and every one of you that supported our team by submitting and by voting! It's a great achievement for our ever-growing team of 1045 members (and probably more, by the time the day is through!). We hope you will continue to support the upcycling movement by either shopping for upcycled alternatives for your buying needs or by trying your hand at creating your own!

Congratulations again to our amazingly talented team and the Top 10 Finalists! If you'd like to see more of what our Top 10 have to offer, just click on their entry or their name on the list!

Weekly Giveaway: Our Children's Earth!

Green Illuminations should be proud~ we had 84 entries in our Weekly Giveaway!! And the lucky winner was Gianna!
Congrats, Gianna! You were the 78th entry, which was Random.org's generated drawing! Thanks to all that entered and to Green Illuminations for sponsoring Upcyclers' giveaway last week!

And a big thanks now to Our Children's Earth for generously offering one of their submissions to our Handmade Top 10 List for the recent contest from Handmadeology! Whimsically named: Pink Fuzzy Peace Baby~ this eco-friendly case is perfect for a Nook, Kindle, journal or anything else you fancy will fit! Upcycled from a wool blend sweater and double stitched with a velcro closure, you'll love keeping your device or belongings safe and cozy in this handy case. It even has a little pocket with a very cool wooden peace sign button!




Stephanie and her family have always had a passion for creating things and working for a good cause. Their company is the combination of those ideas. They strongly believe that what they do today  affects our Children and the Earth of tomorrow. So Our Children's Earth was born.

That is why they say they love to create items and figure out new ways to use things that they find. Their products reflect their philosophy of reusing the leftovers or salvaged finds from their daily lives. Our Children's Earth loves to repurpose, reuse, recycle, Upcycle!

From Eco-friendly childrens playthings~


Practical goods for the home, like this Reusable Sandwich Bag that combos as a Placemat!
