Welcome to Talk’n Trash a cheekily resourceful and creative blog where upcycling and conscious crafting are paired with real stories, reimagined rubbish, plenty of laughs (and probably some spectacular craft fails) along the way.
​
Hi I'm Kate — maker, mender and founder of Heartmade Crafts and CYC’d Upcycled Accessories — and this creative blog is all about rethinking rubbish and other things we throw away. Together with my sidekick "Chook" we'll be sharing eco-friendly, upcycling ideas, mindful craft projects and DIY inspiration. We are on a mission to prove that with a bit of creative effort and know-how, waste can be transformed into something wonderful!
From conscious crafting projects to sustainable fashion and living ideas,
In this creative blog-space you'll find loads of clever and inspiring ways to rethink, reuse, repair, and re-juvenate your everyday, your stuff, your life and our planet.
​
- let's get CYC'd about making trash into treasure!
