Africa; the ultimate upcyclers (Ghana 2016)

What is Upcyled? The Oxford English Dictionary says, ‘upcycled items have already been used and then made into something of greater quality or value than the original item.’

Whether it is made from pallets, planks or pipes, Cool Upcycled aims to show you some of the coolest stuff made from the bits and bobs that may have been disregarded or found just lying around.

This isn’t about saving the world and the environment through recycling: as important this might be. This is about the love of using quality items to make beautiful products.

I started tinkering with spare bits and bobs many years ago, and have learnt the hard way from some successes and many failures. This aims to share all that I know and have made. Do send photos of your creations in return!
