Reducing Waste by Reusing

Ms. Carole Gentry, our tour guide from our field trip at the Solid Waste Facility, came to Springwood yesterday to show us how we can make crafts by reusing materials. Our first creation was an origami bookmark. These can be created from magazines, old papers, etc. You just need to cut the papers into square sheets before starting. Our second craft was an aluminum can flower pin. The cans were crushed and dye cut into different flower petals. We strung them all together using wire, and topped them off with a button. They turned out beautiful!
