15 Upcycle Christmas Ideas

15 upcycle Christmas ideas for the home.

Have an upcycle kind of Christmas;
It’s the best kind you can have
I don’t know where there’ll be rust
But look for free signs dear
Have an upcycle kind of Christmas;
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone junker you meet.

You know we love our junk ~ Some of it is because it’s unique.  Some of it is the history of the piece.  Some of it has to do with the fact that it gets another life (reuse/not wasted). And some of it just comes down to the free, or inexpensive, part of it all.

AND WE AREN’T ALONE…
