Upcyclers Monthly CREATIVITY Challenge:
Each month a selected shop (Judge) will choose a common upcycled medium, like a tin can, an old magazine, etc), and participants respond with photographed ideas of what they upcycled that medium into!
How to Enter:
On this discussion thread please leave a link of your upcycled entry.
Entries must come with a photo of your idea. A description or your thoughts are welcome, but your idea and shop will be share by the PHOTO LINK that you submit as an entry.
To post the photo a link onto Etsy’s discussion boards, you can do this a number of ways:
Upload the photo to a social media network... twitter, facebook, flickr, an Etsy listing, etc. Then paste the link into your entry comment.
You can also upload your photo entry on your own blog or website, and then paste the link into your entry comment on the thread.
Entries will be included in the creativity challenge’s monthly blog post (published on
http://love2upcycle.blogspot.com/) and on our team’s social networks. This is a great way to share the upcycled love and promote your shop.

I am the judge this month!!!
I am starting this challenge late because we have been out of town. It will run until February 24th!
The medium is.... WINE CORKS! :) I bet many of you are not surprised. I am a HUGE wine cork upcycler. Champagne corks, synthetic corks, or any cork material will be expected!!!
You can use my blog
www.thewoodenbee.com for ideas or
my wine cork pinterest board

Ask your local wine bar or restaurant to save them for you one weekend, ask your friends and co-workers. Is amazing how quickly you can get a hold of some. I process over 500 corks a month and I don't even drink wine. hehe
Good Luck! Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks, Bee
