UP_CYCLE By Enthucutlets
An original approach to salvage and recycle. Upcycle is an ethos borne out of an understanding that wealth should not be a means to create waste. We must take ownership of the waste we create. Simple is beau=ful and beau=ful can be useful. At Enthucutlets an a?empt is made to create things meaningful, beau=ful and useful out of everyday waste.
NEWS PAPER & INK Up-‐cycle picture mounts were made using vintage news prints, news paper, ink and glue. The idea was to give used, vintage look to framed pictures/illustra=ons with a quirky mount.
Picture Frames made from News paper and Ink
BANANA FIBER
Banana fiber is extracted from the stem of the banana plant and made into various products. We added a fresh perspec=ve to enhance the product appeal by complemen=ng the texture of Banana fiber with fabric and wool.
