The best DIY projects are the ones that upcycle things into something new. It’s especially great when the thing you’re upcycling is something you might have otherwise thrown out! Plastic cutlery is a great example of something you can save from the garbage for creative purposes. DIY projects made from plastic cutlery help you reduce waste production and keep things “green”. They also look really cool!
