15 Recycled Crafts for World Environment Day

 

1. Let your little ones get in touch with the earth and search for natural materials to make these quaint little dragonflies.

2. You can’t celebrate environment day without keeping your surroundings clean!! Let this cute frog trash can help you; you can also use plastic canisters instead of milk jugs.

3. This gorgeous papier-mache globe requires just a balloon and lots of newspaper! A perfect way to remind us of the planet whose resources we’re using!

4. The best kind of music is the natural kind! Caress the wind with this one-of-its-kind recycled key wind chime.

5. Let’s not forget our feathered friends! Make a hanging bird feeder out of old milk cartons. Get some paint and decorate any way you like!

6. You won’t believe that this gorgeous flower arrangement is made out of nothing but egg cartons and paint! Recycling was never so pretty!

7. ‘The Earth laughs in flowers, said Ralph Waldo Emerson. He would surely agree after seeing this beautiful flower petal suncatcher!

8. This leaf lantern is an impressive work of nature art. And it’s unbelievably easy to make!

9. On World Environment Day, Mr. Potato Head dresses up as Mr. Recycle Head, and he looks great!! Repurpose an old can and other craft supplies to make this little guy!

10. Who knew that you can turn rocks, yes plain rocks, into something as cute as these painted rock ladybugs! Just be sure to get smooth rocks to be safe.

11. If you’ve got lots of little toys floating around but your kids don’t want to throw them away, here’s an idea – save them from the landfills and make a toy wreath!

12. If you’re replaced your plain bulbs with CFL ones, don’t throw them away yet! Use them to make these super cute recycled hot air balloons! Be careful though, and be with your child throughout.

13. No one would ever guess that these sumo wrestlers were made out of plastic bottles!! They make for great bowling pins too!

14. You throw away so many bottle caps in one year. You wouldn’t do it if you knew you could make such lovely bottle cap animals with them!

15. One more for the nature trekkers – butterfly finger puppets decorated with you’re the treasures found during your nature walks!

We’re sure you didn’t know there was so much fun to be had from waste!! Just think, you’re reducing your consumption so much by making use of things that you would otherwise throw away, rather than buying new supplies. So next time you’re about to throw something away, just stop and think – you might be able to turn it into something beautiful!
