The holiday season is a time for joy, connection, and creativity, but it can also be a season of waste. From mountains of wrapping paper to mass-produced decorations, the holidays often leave a significant environmental footprint. But what if you could celebrate in style while reducing your impact on the planet? That’s where upcycling comes in. At IREP Resale, your friendly Austin thrift store, we believe in turning the old into something new and beautiful. Upcycling—repurposing unwanted items into fresh, functional treasures—is a fun and meaningful way to create sustainable holiday décor and unique gifts. Here are some of our favorite upcycling ideas to inspire your green holiday season.
