Recycled Picture Frame

Recycled Art.
I have recently thought about making a recycled picture frame with my students and giving it a try.

It doesn't take that much time, and you can make a nice and original gift to your friends and family that helps the environment. It's an excellent idea to recycle things...

"It costs at least three times more to dump trash in landfills than it costs to reuse and recycle"[1], and it makes you think in creative ways to use those things and make them practical and look good. These are more than reasons to check this post and trigger your creativity.

I also used this recycled artwork as an education and awareness tool for my students... in short, we had lots of fun :)

You can have an idea of making a recycled picture frame through the following pictures.

Picture frame #1

To make a recycled picture frame from scratch, we only need cardboard, newspaper, glue, paint, and creativity.


And this is what the kids came up with :)


Picture frame #2

We tried another picture frame style. We need cardboard, an old magazine, glue, a magnet, and paint for this one.


And the kids work :)
