For those not familiar with the term, upcycling is taking something already made and turning it into something else. In this case I have taken thrift store clothing and curtains, and turned them into aprons. Also cargo pants turned into a book bag. See what you think!

You're so creative! Thanks for sharing.

What a great idea.

Nice ideas. I love to shop at thrift stores for things. I even buy older aprons and UPscale the. Thanks fro sharing your ideas.

I would LOVE to have the jumper apron. I need LOTS of coverage!
The other aprons look like what my Grandma B used to make - and I'm still using them now. Clever ideas. |
how smart, clever, and Cute! This must have been a fun thing to do. Your recipients are going to be tickled.

LOVE THEM :thumbup:

Since my dad always joked about my cake baking I think an apron from one of his shirts would be a perfect memento. Thanks for the idea.
