Let's Start from Trash!

We were asked to make our own handicraft as our project last quarter. I searched over the net and found one project that attracted me. It was a picture frame made out of Styrofoam  One of my members also suggested to make a container out of plastic bottle bottoms. So our group decided to make both.

Luckily, we were able to make both products successfully. This project really helped me improve my art skills. I also plan to recycle more and create handicrafts from them.

We used the following materials:

  1. Recycled Styrofoam
  2. Poster Paint & Paintbrush
  3. Glue Solution
  4. Plastic Cover
  5. Card Stock
  6. Tissue Paper
  7. Rulers
  8. Cutter and Scissors
I added the final touches on the frame (paint, cover, etc..). I was really happy when we were able to create the frames properly and successfully. We plan to sell them for Php 15.00 each.

Half-Heartedly Thankful.

I didn't really put any effort in making my card at all. I just folded a pre-designed card stock, printed a pop-up template that I got on the internet, copied the lyrics of a random song, then glued everything.

It's really hard to do something like a thank you card for your parents if deep inside you don't really want to do it. But despite my little effort, the card turned out pretty well.
