An upcycled Upcycling Awareness Ribbon. (Upcycling is a constructive way of recycling. Basically, it’s turning trash into treasure.)

I was inspired by the red ribbon that stands for AIDS. The upcycling awareness ribbon stands for upcycling: trash doesn’t have be clustering our planet but with a bit of creativity and work trash can be turned into true treasures. Let’s upcycle more often and leave those yet untouched resources alone!

Dimensions: you decide. Normally about 2×4cm
Ingredients: beverage carton (locally sourced), pin, a piece of wire coating

Designed in Switzerland, made wherever you are
Shape is important, visual design comes with the material
Expected lifespan: as long as you take care of it

Are you the crafty type?
The Change Wallet is one of Mayari’s “open source” products. Watch the diy movie below to copy the Change Wallet. May I ask you one thing in return? Please, if someone asks, give me credit by telling her/him you got the idea from Mayari – this designer & artist who turns trash into treasure. You see, it’s just that I stand behind my products with my name. Why? Because I’m ready to get all the blame (not sure about fame;-p).
Thanks a lot! Now go ahead and spread the Change Wallet!

Also, I’d be happy to see your copy, so please send me a picture of your Change Wallet if you like!
