I'm a little late on my "Earth Day" post due to being so busy the past couple of days... but here goes!
Our family project for Earth Day was to upcycle some materials into something useful. As you can see from the pictures below- my kiddos had a blast in the goo!
I started off by hot gluing 2 plastic coffee cans together- one on top of the other. Then we mixed up some flour and water to begin the paper mache' process.
Then we took some of last week's newspapers and ads and ripped them into strips before dipping them in the gooey flour and water mix. Then we coated the coffee cans and let it all dry.
Add some nice paint to match our guest bathroom and voila! A toilet paper holder to store the extra toilet paper for easy access when the rolls run low!
Please share any ideas you've had for upcycling this Earth Day! I'd love to see other examples!
