The art of the “upcycle” – taking a useless or old item and creating something amazing and useful from it – is a good technique to save more from doing DIY. Today, we’re talking about wedding-related upcycles; things brides have created and made beautiful for their weddings from very inexpensive items. Check out these amazing thrift store wedding upcycles.

Rescued Centerpieces
