Is my product good enough?

Last Saturday we talked about upcycling. In all honesty upcycle is nothing new it just recycling the way they did before the 70's. What is that saying from Bob the Builder? Reduce, reuse, recycle. That's basically the ins and out's of upcycling.
You can upcycle shirts into scarves, necklaces, braclets and many many more. Upcycling teaches you new ways to create new products, reuse what you have. Take something old and make it entirely new. A friend of mine posted about the new year and the blanket with sleeves. That's un upcycle product. The snuggy, cuddleuppets, stompeez, that's taking something old and turning it into something new. Of course we all know anything you upcycle and gear it towards children you either have and instant hit or an instant bomb.
So how do you know if what you upcycle is gonna be popular with kids? You love it right? Yeah what you love that's not to say that someone else will detest it. Do you have kids that are school age? Do you have relatives that you are close to with school aged children. Ask to come to the class for a show and tell project when you have a product for children. That way you will know right off the bat what you need to change to make your product better.
