A recurring "upcycling" recipe from crafters seems the following: take a container, put decorative paper, ribbon and rope around it with glue, paint the lid and attach a knob. All extra materials brand new from an art shop. The properties of the container are now less desirable because all this textured material holds on to dirt, the jars can't be stacked and are less transparent. Making a jacket from fabric scraps would take a major skill.
