Have you ever looked at something and thought… wait, this could totally work for something else?

That’s exactly what happened when I grabbed an orchid stem clip and used it to pin back my hair. Spoiler alert: it worked perfectly. 💇♀️✨

At Le Prix, we’re all about rethinking what already exists before buying new. Whether it’s fashion, beauty tools, or home items—reimagining their use is not just sustainable, it’s kind of fun too.

💡 5 Unexpected Upcycling Ideas to Try

• Orchid Clips → Hair Accessories
  Yup. They grip so well and look cute while doing it.
• Empty Candle Jars → Cotton Round Holders
  Just clean them out with hot water and coconut oil. Perfect for bathroom storage.
• Yogurt Container Lids → Paint Palettes for Kids (or Nail Polish)
  So easy to clean and saves from disposable palettes.
• Old T-Shirts → Reusable Cleaning Rags
  Cut into squares and use instead of paper towels. Plus, they’re free.
• Broken Jewelry → DIY Zipper Pulls or Gift Embellishments
  Give those beads and charms a second life.

🌍 Why It Matters

Upcycling isn’t just about being crafty. It’s about being mindful—of what we already have, of waste, and of our creative power.
Plus, it’s an act of love for the planet. And who doesn’t love that?
