1. How to Care for Your Upcycled Accessories:

To keep your handmade upcycled accessories looking their best, a little care goes a long way! Here are a few simple tips to ensure your pieces stay in great condition:

  1. Keep Them Dry: Upcycled materials may not be as water-resistant as new items, so it’s best to avoid getting your accessories wet. Try to keep them dry by taking them off before you shower, swim, or if you're caught in the rain.

  2. Store Safely: When you’re not wearing your accessories, store them in a safe place where they won’t be squished or damaged. Keep them in a drawer, box, or pouch to protect them from dust, dirt, and accidental breakage.

  3. Avoid Rough Handling: Since each piece is unique and made from repurposed materials, they may be more delicate than mass-produced items. Be mindful of rough handling to avoid any unnecessary wear or tear.

By following these simple care instructions, you'll ensure that your one-of-a-kind accessory remains as beautiful as the day you received it!

 

2. How to Care for Your Upcycled Garments:

Taking care of your upcycled garments will help keep them looking fresh, vibrant, and lasting longer. To ensure their longevity and preserve the uniqueness of each piece, follow these care tips:

  1. Hand wash for Best Results: For the most gentle care, handwashing your upcycled garments is recommended. This helps protect the fabric and materials while keeping them in top condition.

  2. If Machine Washing: If handwashing isn’t an option, you can machine wash your garments inside out on a cool, delicate cycle.

  3. Air Dry, Don’t Tumble Dry: Never tumble dry your upcycled items. Instead, lay them flat or hang them to air dry naturally. This will help prevent shrinkage and preserve the integrity of the materials.

  4. Avoid Ironing: To avoid damaging the delicate upcycled materials, skip the iron. Instead, use a steamer to gently remove wrinkles. Steaming is a gentler and more effective way to refresh your garment while maintaining its shape and texture.

By following these simple care steps, you’ll help your upcycled garment stay looking new, vibrant, and ready to wear for years to come!
