Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Paint can transform recycled elements like nothing else and trying out new techniques can be so fun when, if it doesn’t work out you didn’t mess up something expensive. Pop on over to the link Anna sent in to the blog Journey Into Creativity to see the easy tutorial on how to paint a can and turn it into a pretty vase.
These DIY stress balls were created for Halloween with cute little Jack-o-lantern faces but I’m thinking of all the ways to switch them up so that they can be used for all the stressful holidays. Are there any that aren’t? Pop on on over to the blog Mom Generations for the step by step tutorial on how to make your own stress balls and then get your creative on with color choices and embellishments.
What a cool idea and fun way to be creative. There’s no reason we couldn’t do something like this at a festival where we teach kids about recycling. Thanks for passing that along!
