Whether it’s giving an old pair of jeans a new lease of life or repainting a coffee table, many have tried their hand at upcycling in recent years as the eco-friendly hobby gains popularity.

We’d like to hear from people in the UK who have recently given forgotten objects a makeover, whether you’re an old hand at DIY or have just bought a sewing machine. Why did you start? What does the hobby offer you over buying new items? We’d love to see your photos too.
