Foreword

I don’t think outside the box. I think of what I can do with THE BOX.

Okay, so I wasn’t the crafter and upcycling guru that I am now, when I first started with all my DIY and crafting projects. As a matter of fact, I was considered a hoarder and a clutter bug. For many years, I have collected so much junk bottles, tons of tin cans and mason jars – not only because I don’t like throwing things out, but because I enjoy eating, cooking, drinking lots of water, storing things in jar and yes, drinking lots of wine. Believe it or not, but I am that kind of person has every valid reason to enjoy good wine - thus resulting to a garage filled with empty wine bottles, used and unused mason jars, lids, cans and bottles.

It didn’t take long before I realized that I should definitely start de-cluttering my home. But I didn’t want to throw away everything and I didn’t want to add up to the world’s accumulating amount of garbage. So what should I do!? I thought of selling them, which is a pretty good option. And that was something I did for quite some time. And that helped me earn money while getting my garage cleaned. But when I saw one DIY video on social media, a sudden jolt of lighting struck me – if they can upcycle these cans, jars and bottles, why can’t I?

So I started researching and experimenting with the cans and bottles that I have left and found myself enjoying way too much. Don’t get me wrong, I am not obsessed. I simply find joy and a sense of fulfillment everytime I get to complete a project. Soon, I was making different kinds of household items, decors and accents which I use and display at home.

I once made mason jar sewing kits and plastic bottle zipper purses for a few friends and they were amazed at how I made them using old items I had lying at home. They pushed and urged me to write a book to help others tap into their crafty sides.
