ART FROM THE RECYCLING BIN
Free art materials are everywhere! This blog is dedicated to exploring and encouraging the use of found art materials. As an art therapist who works with children and their families, I am especially interested in the possibilities for incorporating creative play into everyday family life. Using materials we find around us can make the process fun, lively, personal, affordable, and environmentally responsible. So get out there and start collecting garbage!

Paper Shopping Bags

Paper shopping bags are great materials. The brown grocery bags are free heavy-duty craft paper, and the patterned versions offer all sorts of possibilities for collage, etc.  The castle was made from a grocery bag cut open and backed with corrugated cardboard (an all-time favorite art material of mine). The paper bag quilt was made of two shopping bags, a moons & stars pattern and a purple diamonds pattern.
