Upcycle process
Week 1: What if I dare…? Fantasise about what you could make, share inspiration and plans.
Week 2: Time for action. Start fixing, tweaking and preparing your project.
Week 3: So you. Create your unique design by sewing, embroidering or painting.
Week 4: Show it off! Share your end result and inspire others with what you’ve made.

How it works
Share your upcycling process and creations on Instagram with the hashtag #REFEBULOUS2025 and tag @madebyLIESL. Every post is a chance to compete for cool sustainable prizes!
