5 Easy tips to choose your jewelry upcycling material
You want to upcycle your own accessories but you don’t know where to start? Here are 5 easy tips to help you choose amongst the objects you have at home.
Pick an object that you don’t use anymore.
It can be fabrics, it can be cutlery, it can be an old toy, or even an old basket. Any-thing has potential so everyone has something at home that can serve the project!
For a start, choose something that does not hold too much emotional value.
2. Stay away from limiting thoughts that define if you can use, or not an object based on its original/common value.
Objects are material, and material can be transformed in so many ways! Let your creativity flow in the process and think, how you can make it from A to B.
3. Look for the modelling/cutting properties of materials
Upcycling accessories means that you do not always need to invest in ultra sophisticated tools to reach your objective. Check out this blog post to know the 12 basic tools you need to start upcycling today.

5. Try, try, and try again!
Do not compare yourself to others, and do not give up if it does not look as good as you expected it to be on your first try. Take it instead as a lesson on how you can make it better next time! Experimenting is part of the process.
