Best out of Waste Materials
If you are looking for some exciting, creative and innovative ideas for
an artwork out of the waste materials, then here is your stop. There are
numerous waste materials lying at every corner of your house, especially on the beloved kitchen shelves. Why not could we use those waste materials into some
productive and imaginary pieces of an artwork? Make
the best use
of such waste material lying
at home to keep your kids engaged in one or the other activities and doing creative
stuff.
We have usually come across using our daily basic waste materials into beautiful handcrafts, such as newspapers, cardboard, plastic bottles etc. Best out of
waste ideas are the very basic and normally the first hand for any kind of an
artwork. Making things from newspapers are very common and also very useful.
From paper bags to funky objects and decorative wall hangings which are
basically done in most of the households and even in preschools. However, this page presents to you an artwork
which is out of the box ideas for an exciting method of creating a masterpiece
from the waste materials.
Creepy Crawly
For this craft, I have used just
the two main materials those were disposable. You often eat the biscuits and throw the wrappers but have you noticed the
inner plastic trays that hold the fragile biscuits firmly inside the wrapper to
reduce the chances of biscuit breakages. Yes, we would use the disposable
plastic tray of the biscuit packet for the main body of the creature that we
are going to make today.
Also after you clean your ear with a cotton bud, you usually throw them,
well, of course, using the used cotton buds will be unhygienic, however
sometimes few cotton buds which are usually expired and not advisable to use
them to clean your delicate inner ear parts. So we can use those cotton buds
for the legs of the creature for this craft.
I have used only a green color for the entire body of the creature, as
the color of the insects and worms are mostly green, dark red, brown or black. However, you can choose your own color for the
creepy worm to make it look more attractive and funny. Usually a white color of
an eye is illustrated in an insect, however,
if you want the creepy crawly to look quite haunting, you can choose the color
of the worm’s eye into red or black.
I have made this craft in a very simple method for our growing children
to learn and explore, also to do this activity almost by themselves. Follow the
procedure given below in step-wise
instructions.
