Maker Faire Baton Rouge 2025

Ready, Set, Upcycle!

Home: Louisiana, United States of America

The Upcycle(d) Life is a community/planet-focused L3C. Our mission is to help our communities reduce personal and public waste through the art of upcycling. Upcycling transforms would-be waste materials into new, useful and beautiful products. The majority of T.U.L. products are created from my personal home and office waste. These new products vary from wearables, i.e. jewelry and fabric accessories, to home goods such as natural dyes and household cleansers, and specialty items like candles, faux leather, stationary, bowls, vases, tables, and wall décor. In the future, trash collected from community clean-ups will be used as material for The Upcycle(d) Life's repurposed goods.

What Inspired You to Make This?

Once I started keeping the items that I would usually discard/recycle, I realized how much waste one person can produce. I've spent the last 4-5 years hoarding recyclables and coming up with ways to make the would-be waste usable again.
