Eliu Hernandez Finds the Potential and Beauty in Used Materials

Eliu Hernandez is a master of upcycled denim creativity, as the Instagram account for his shop @madeorremade makes clear.

He even harvests thread from jeans to reuse in future projects! There's an instructional video on his YouTube if you'd like to try it at home). And he publicly brainstorms how to use every last bit of his raw materials, right down to his collection of belt loops. Made or Remade is definitely a shop to follow for inspiration, ideas, and tips on creative upcycling.
