Tis the Season to Reuse & Recycle: Rubbish Seasonal Makes with Escape Arts
All the online shopping, presents and decorations we enjoy at Christmas results in a lot of rubbish. In fact an extra 30% more rubbish is produced over Christmas compared to the rest of the year. An estimated three and a half black bags of festive packaging is discarded by every household. Some of this cannot be recycled and ends up in landfill. What a waste!
PAPERBAG STARS – stunning stars from grocery bags
Who knew paper bags could be used so creatively?
SCRAPBOOK SKETCHBOOK – make a beautiful journal or sketchbook using scrap paper
Escape Arts would also like to encourage you to reuse your rubbish and waste paper to make decorative handmade items. These make unique gifts and use up unwanted materials which might otherwise end up in landfill. You will need a few household items such as scissors, pens and glue, as well as some rubbish.
Be Your Extraordinary Self: Create a Fabulous Outfit and Be a Living Artwork
This year Escape Arts launched “Be Extraordinary” – a programme of projects and workshops encouraging everyone to be brave and be bold – think outside the box and challenge what is considered normal. Escape Arts was inspired by the critically acclaimed international artist Daniel Lismore who is known for his incredible outfits where he is a living artwork.
