Upcycling is the process of taking something of little value and increasing it’s worth through transformation of the raw product. Records are a great example of a raw material that has been transformed into many different objects. However, records aren’t just being made into clocks these days. There is a whole world of artistic recyclers out there putting scratched and unwanted records to great re-use.

There’s a website called Original T-Bag Designs that sells art made of used tea bags. Talk about reuse — they make some beautiful items from what most of us would just throw away. And these designs are helping to lift some artisans out of poverty!
