Repurposing everyday items in your home is a great way to save money and to indulge your crafty side. However, it is not just your wallet or sense of creativity that will benefit from repurposing items.

The benefits of repurposing and reusing items that you use in your house on a day to day basis go far beyond just saving you money. When you repurpose household items, you are also helping the environment, giving items a second, third or fourth life prevents them from ending up in landfill.

THE CHALLENGE

We want to normalise making the most of the things we own, throwaway culture is currently at its peak, and we want to change that, 2 items at a time!

We are asking you to repurpose 2 things throughout the month of April. Whether that’s repairing a hole in an item of clothing or finding a whole new use for an item that normally you would dispose of.
