Every year on November 15 in many civilized countries of the world, Recycling Day is celebrated. The pollution of the planet by garbage is growing day by day. Therefore, on this day, governments and public organizations of countries summarize what happened to be implemented in order to use recycled materials or garbage more efficiently. Competitions are also held where the best crafts from garbage are celebrated.
Moreover, even well-known designers create installations and other works from household waste. The modern catamaran "Plastic" depicted in the photo is made of eleven thousand used bottles and cans. Its creators - a team of scientists from Australia - wanted to show that, by joining together, you can find common solutions to get rid of garbage throughout the Earth.
Hand made craftsmen also often make DIY garbage crafts. There are a number of reasons for this.
- Firstly, the material for the manufacture is not worth a dime. Therefore, you do not need to worry in case of failure, but try again, without financial costs and investments.
- Secondly, you can not just make some trinket, but give a new life to your old favorite things: put in order a warm sweater, repair a comfortable sofa and much more.
- Thirdly, you can find unusual use for familiar household items.
And, of course, realize your talent as an artist, sculptor or real engineer. Many crafts made of garbage are quite simple to manufacture, so you can craft such products with your children.
When working with garbage, one should not forget about some simple rules.
All materials for the manufacture must be clean. Before you start creating a new masterpiece from improvised materials, you need to thoroughly clean everything. To process rusty parts with rust remover, wash plastic and glass bottles with soap and water, throw out the old filler in the furniture. All these are crafts from household garbage, but this does not mean that dirty things are used in the process. Cleaning work is best done with a respirator and rubber gloves.
Special care should be taken with stitching and cutting materials, if there is no self-confidence, then it is better to abandon such creativity. Moreover, in the house there are always many other interesting things that need rework.
As you can see, all these rules are quite simple and do not require any special efforts to comply.
Often garbage crafts are so creative and unusual that they delight both their creators and those around them. Glass jars in the form of decorative vases decorated with beads, glass beads, rhinestones, ribbons, napkins and paints look beautiful and unusual.
Tetropackets from under milk will be an excellent bird feeder. Crafts from garbage in the form of feeders can be made by very young children under the guidance of adults. Kids will enjoy not only the manufacturing process itself, but also birdwatching, who will be happy to fly to taste treats from an unusual feeding trough.
