Upcycling for Others

For my Silver Award, I co-created Upcycling for Others, a website that shows how to turn recycled materials into handmade gifts for seniors, kids, and animals. The idea started when we learned about upcycling and saw how simple it was to turn everyday waste into something useful and meaningful.

We made things like terrariums from soda bottles, flowerpots from jars, dog toys from old t-shirts, and sensory boards from scrap wood, all while raising awareness about sustainability. We shared our project at the Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida Silver Award Showcase and hoped to inspire others to combine creativity, service, and care for the planet.
