A lot of crafters pride themselves on upcycling items that might otherwise be thrown away. I am one such crafter. Every time I learn about some new item that can be upcycled, I try it, and I almost always enjoy it (truth: some of the toxicity with melting plastic is a little beyond me).<\/p>\n
When I first saw folks upcycling the outer disposable sleeve for coffee, I was hooked. What a great way to re-use something that would just be thrown away and the paper was always thick and strong. Coffee sleeves usually come in craft colors, but sometimes they are also available in pastels–who knew?<\/p>\n
