While trends and hauls never end, same goes for our tendency to hoard. But the good news is that you do not have to worry about reusing and upcycling them anymore. With the topic of having a sustainable lifestyle on the rise, we need to be repurposing even more. And that is why I bring to you accounts other than ours that will help you get creative with your hoard without destroying them completely. There may be many other popular ones out there, but the following are our personal favourites and some of them deal with different kinds of hoards and junk.

1. 5-Minute Crafts

Probably the most popular among DIY junkies, this account can get creative with possibly everything one can find lying around the house. There are absolutely no limits to how much this account can offer towards arts, crafts, and DIY projects.

2. Johanna Clough

If you are one of those who find all clothing tags, laces and any flat object too good to throw away, this account is for you. With Johanna, you can start junk journaling right away with any flat object you may have dreamt of using one day and don't worry, you don't have to be a world-famous artist for it!

This Indian account will initially give you vibes similar to that of '5-Minute Crafts' but the videos seem to cover even the uncharted waters within the DIY and upcycling realm.

Another Indian account that teaches you how to upcycle anything but I find its content revolving more around creating adorable decor pieces for your homes.
