It is always best to start small. You can start with a small project, such as repurposing an old tomato sauce can into a pen holder. Look in your basement, garage, or other storage areas in your home to see what you have on hand and to get ideas. You may be surprised at how many items you have that can be easily repurposed or upcycled. Lastly, be patient. Upcycling can take time or may take more than one try to do. Try not to get discouraged if your first few attempts do not turn out perfect.
