Sustainable Sundays: Upcycled COLOR

Happy Sustainable Sunday! Each week we search and highlight upcycled creations made from over 2,000 sustainable shops on our Upcyclers Etsy Team! Shops that are actively upcycling and participating in our community are available for selections.

This Sunday we're talking about upcycled color, literally. Check out these amazing creations made from recycled CRAYONS!!

With a little creativity, it's amazing what you can give a second chance!

We are not to throw away those things which can benefit our neighbor. Goods are called good because they can be used for good: they are instruments for good, in the hands of those who use them properly.
-- Clement of Alexandria

Enjoy your Sunday and be sure to make it a sustainable one.

Upcycled Crafting: part 4 of 5

Did you know that March 2012 is National Craft Month? YES! Because I've been telling you every Thursday all month long.

Team Upcyclers has been celebrating the wonderful world of crafting by bringing you an entire month of Upcycled Craft Supplies! Each Thursday we've highlighted our Etsy shops that provide UPCYCLED crafting supplies.

The best part, each featured shop is providing our readers with... exclusive SALES and coupons!!!

Here are this week's THREE upcycled handmade crafters and their awesome coupons!

Beth Martin, owner of Beach Glass Shop, spends her summer months walking the beaches of Lake Erie looking for beach glass, porcelain and other shoreline findings! These upcycled pieces become fabulous beach glass jewelry, lamps, trays and anything else her imagination conjures up. She loves inspiring creativity in customers by offering Seaside Supplies in her Etsy shop as well.

Like this icy white Sea Glass with top drilled hole! 

And how unique are these Fillable Glass Bottle Vials!? I can already see sand, stones, or a message inside, making an adorable pendant!

I love these simple Lake Erie stones!
