During spring cleaning clothing is typically an item that people sort through; and decide what they will keep, donate or discard. Instead of donating or discarding all of your clothing; give up-cycling a try!

For example, let’s say you find a blouse in the midst of your cleaning, and you like the blouse; but you also never wear it. Ask yourself how can you transform it? Allow you imagination to run wild for a bit, and take creative action.
