Summer craft ideaMake wall hanging with waste material
Summer is the season when we have some spare time with our kids at home due to their school vacations. We can utilize this precious time to teach our kids how they can re-use the waste material. It is a good time to teach young minds the value of recycling and environment protection. At the same time, they will also learn to make a few new things that you can easily flaunt by using as wall hanging.
With the waste material like bangles, old clothes, wool, stones etc. you can make beautiful decorative items like wall hangings.Here are some ideas to re-use your waste material to make beautiful wall hangings for different rooms:
Wall hanging from Used bangles To make the wall hangings from your used bangles you will need-
• 9 old bangles • Wool • Glue • Decorative stones • Small beads • Needle and thread
The above items are readily available in our homes. Now start covering the bangles completely with wool one by one. Roll the wool over the bangles. You have 9 beautiful patches of your bangles. Now start attaching all patches in the shape of a flower by using 7 bangle patches. Add one more patch at the top and one at the bottom and cut the extra wools. Its time to decorate your wall hanging. Paste decorative stones in the center of each bangle patch with the help of glue. To add some more beauty in your wall hanging make small hangings with the help of beads and apply these hangings in bottom five patches. Don’t apply to the patch in the center and other three patches upward. Make a hanging hole by using wool on the top bangle patch. Your wall hanging is ready to hang.
Used plastic bottles: In summers we drink cold drinks and throw the bottles. After reading this innovative idea you will never throw your plastic bottles. To make wall hangings with the used plastic bottle you will need following items: • 2-3 medium size plastic bottles • Wool or thick thread in two different colors • Small patches in round shape • Glue • Hanging
Cut the smooth part of an equal shape of the plastic bottle. Now cut nine equal rings from that part. Give the shape of the heart to all rings by pressing them with your fingers. Cover your hearts with wool or thread in two different colors. Place one heart at the top position and attach two more hearts downwards. Now attach three hearts below two hearts. Paste two hearts below three and the last heart in the bottom. Use small round patches in the center point of all hearts and hang a beautiful hanging at the bottom of your hanging. Make a hanging point with the use of wool or thread. Another beautiful wall hanging is ready.
Practice it with your kids, they will definitely enjoy this task and also, It will enhance their creativity.
