Our story for Upcycling Unicorn

 After decades of owning and working at Marine Canvas shops, I, along with my wife and two sons, own Carrabelle Custom Canvas, located in Carrabelle, FL (check out our site at www.carrabellecanvas.com for more information). I’ve always wanted to do more with the leftover materials my shop would accumulate. I was always available to sell the local community around my shop canvas and fabric remnants, but recently I finally decided to start making my own totes and pillows after working with an outdoor daybed swing maker with his customers that wanted good quality outdoor mattress pads and cushions for their new swings. That’s how Upcycling Unicorn was born, as these totes are all one-of-a-kind made by hand using leftover boat canvas interior and exterior top-grade Sunbrella materials, with high-grade thread and zippers. They can have mesh bottoms for beach or water fun or closed bottoms for carrying all your treasures and keeping them dry. I have also begun making throw pillows using the leftover closed cell foam used in the daybed swing outdoor cushions, which are great for all your outdoor or indoor cushion use. Upcycling Unicorn is proud to be making great products repurposing material that would’ve otherwise likely been thrown away. We even make wall and window art using leftover boat enclosure materials and poured paint. Who knows what will come up next?
