Here's how it works - 

Throughout the school hols, we trawl the web, so YOU DON'T HAVE TO! We find the best upcycle vids and sustainable style hacks, and share them here.  

You pick the hacks you like. Try the stuff that appeals, and toss what doesn't. You're the designer here, darlings! Get creative, stretch your skills, and be your own label.

Every time you finish a new creation, share it with your mates, and make sure to tag us @theswish.official, #theswish, or send us your pics at hello@theswish.co.uk.

We show off your coolest (or just plain crazy!) upcycles in our Swish Summer Gallery. So keep checking back here for fresh upcycle vids - and the chance to become a style icon yourself!
