Welcome to this 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.
​​
I'm Kate, the maker, mender and creative mind behind Heartmade Crafts and CYC'd Upcycled Accessories. This blog is dedicated to celebrating handmade living in a digital world through upcycling, mindful making, traditional craft skills, and sustainable creativity.
Here you'll discover inspiring projects, repair and mending ideas, creative reuse tips, and practical ways to reduce waste while creating something meaningful with your own hands.
It's all about slowing down, making do, thinking differently, and proving that with a little imagination and creativity, even the most ordinary can become something extraordinary.
