More Collectibles to Transform

All types of containers have been saved.  Adding a bit of surface decoration can make all of the difference.

Students are inspired

One piece in progress, the other completed by 2 groups of students who wanted to try their hand at a recycled paper mosaic.

Finished!!

2 years later, but I think it is safe to say it is finished!

HOLIDAY DECOR

A couple of  Reader's digest magazines(folded paper airplane style), worn tennis balls, discarded CD's combined with some paint, glue and trimmings create these holiday centerpieces.

ACCENTS

A few days of bad weather...magazines combined with some glue, string and discarded containers.

ACCENTS

An elongated cardboard box, rolled magazine paper, and woven strips of aluminum soda cans are used to create this unique container.

JEWELRY

Magazine scraps are rolled and glued to create beads. 

Students resized and wrapped cardboard masking tape rolls to deign bracelets. Applying a layer of gesso to the taped surface provided a blank canvas to draw their animal prints on

DESK ACCESSORIES

Rolled and glued magazine pages, a coffee can and hot glue gun are all used to create this container.

Magazine Mosaic

This is a mosaic created entirely out of magazines.  It is 48" x 36".  This image was inspired by a frame in Disney's animated classic Beauty and the Beast.  The composition was drawn, magazines were torn and sorted by color and the original image was at hand for color reference.
