WEEKEND CRAFTS: DO YOU PREFER BUILDING FROM SCRATCH OR UPCYCLING OLD STUFF?

That’s not just you—happens to me more than I’d like to admit. Upcycling sounds great until you’re halfway through and realize you’ve spent hours just getting the old paint off or pulling out weird hardware. Sometimes it’s just easier (and honestly, cheaper) to start with new materials. Still, there’s a certain satisfaction in making something unique out of stuff that would’ve ended up in a landfill. Guess it depends on how much time and patience you’ve got that weekend.
