12 Recycled Crafts For Earth Day
Happy National Recycling Month!
That’s correct, April not only ushers in the showers that bring May’s blooms, but it also serves as a reminder of the ways in which the materials we use on a daily basis may help us better care for the environment. Our domestic products can be reduced, reused, and recycled in a variety of ways, particularly when it comes to arts and crafts.
1. Paper Plate Aquarium Porthole
Every home has at least a few paper plates! Grab two plates, a piece of plastic wrap, and a few bright items the next time you need to make something crafty to put on the wall.
2. Egg Carton Picture Frame
The perfect art project to try out with an old carton and some special memories is this one! Get a few photos, some paint, glitter, and rope to create a special frame for your favourite place. Even the other side of the carton can be used to carve out letters and other forms.

3. Yogurt Cup Zoo Animals
Who would have thought a trip to the kitchen could become an excursion to the zoo? Use the empty yoghurt bottles that you saved from afternoon snacks to recreate all of your favourite animals and play zookeeper all day.
4. Recycled Monsters
These comical monsters constructed of cardboard tubes, plastic cups, and bottle caps will frighten non-recyclable materials away. Use construction paper, poms, and wiggly eyes to make your own custom monsters.
5. Desk Organizer
To make a lovely new desk item for your office, recycle old shoe and tissue boxes! Organising may also be environmentally friendly, so use resources you already have to create a new home for your craft items!
6. Tube Telescope
Utilise your very own telescope to explore the night sky! Take a paper cup and a long cardboard tube and embellish it with paint, glitter, stones, and foam. What kinds of planets and stars are you going to look for tonight?
7. Mexican Folk Art Turtle
This recycled craft will teach you about a new culture while showcasing the vivid hues and historic tales that are a part of Hispanic heritage. To recreate this Mexican folk art turtle, use recycled materials including plates, cardboard tubes, and bottle caps.
8. DIY Terrarium
Starting seeds that will bloom in the spring in April is ideal. Gather a paper and plastic cup, some soil and seeds, and other crafting materials. Prepare to build your new terrarium out of recyclable materials and watch your plants flourish after that.
9. Robot Bank
This high-tech, robotic safe can be made out of a shoebox, two plastic bottles, and some creativity. It’s the perfect way to start saving money for something special.
10. Recycled Paper
This eco-friendly craft may take some time, but it’s worth the experience because all good crafts require practise. You can use this new substance to write notes to loved ones or even plant new seeds in the garden if you learn how to produce your own paper.
11. Recycled Jellyfish
One of the most fascinating marine life in our waters is the jellyfish. Create your own vibrant marine jellies using recycled materials like coffee filter paper and waste cups. Then, follow our Teacher’s Corner to learn how to protect our oceans for our beloved marine life!
12. Pasta Earth
How amazing the earth is! Create a pasta world to commemorate Earth Day using acrylic paint, glitter, and spaghetti that has been coloured. Then, on April 22, think of some pasta-tively enjoyable ways to clean up your area of the earth.
