Here's a great Art Attack for recycling old carrier bags!
You will need:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Take a carrier bag that's a bright colour, like this blue one. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The idea is to draw six or seven petal shapes - pointy ovals - onto the carrier bag. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cut them out carefully. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the centre of the flower, cut out a circle from a different coloured bag. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pinch it in the middle, bunching the circle up. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hold it in place with some tape. This can be a bit fiddly! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, add on the petals. Put them around the edges. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hold two or three in position, and add on some tape. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Keep adding petals in the same way, going around the centre, until you've created a whole flower. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You could even twist a green bag into a long stalk, holding it in place
with lots of tape. Stick the flower onto the other end! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can experiment with different coloured bags. and different petal shapes, like these rounded white ones with a delicate pink centre. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
And this one with large petals makes it look quite tropical. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's another good idea: if you get one of these green garden sacks... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
... you can twist it up into a thick vine, and tape it into place. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then you can wrap your flowers around it to create a recycled art masterpiece! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
They look great if you use them to decorate your room or as some party decorations. Try it yourself! |
