Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
I have been saving these rice bags for a while and here are a few projects to inspire you to start buying your rice in bulk Hessian bags rather than plastic bag family sized servings.
Turn your rice bag into a purse with this free tutorial from Everythingatonce
Or how about some kitchen artwork ? with this tutorial your walls will be a constant reminder of that
rice and curry dish you made the other night.
I have posted other recycled cardboard sculpture crafts but today’s really caught my eye for two reasons. The first is the fun way simple patterns created on the surfaces really made this look modern and fun. The second was using a tp tube as the base. The combo of the ovals and the tp tube just went together nicely. Pop on over to the blog Artful Parent to see more about how to make painted patterned recycled cardboard and TP tube sculptures.
Does anyone know of a source for recycled yarmulkahs? I need about 100-200 of them for a bar mitzvah that we are trying to make environmentally friendly (there are too many for me to make myself, but perhaps a craft coop might be interested???). Yarmulkahs out of rice bags would be especially cool.
