I’m a Christchurch, New Zealand-based content producer and upcycling expert. I’m passionate about crafts, arts, sustainability and inspiring people to think about every day items in a whole new way.

Upcycling not only saves money and the environment, but it also allows us to re-ignite our creativity by reimagining every day things. Whether it’s a jar, a pair of jeans or plastic packaging, it can all be transformed into something useful and beautiful.

Thanks for visiting! If you would like to feature a product or service on CraftyGirlLifeHacks, head to the About Me page.
