Yes, I had many wine bottles donated to the art room and over the years we have made many things from them so I wanted to share. This elephant was made by using paper mache and acrylic paint. I think it turned out rather cool!
In class the kids had to pick some animal or bird to make their creation for this paper mache unit. These 2 were pretty clever with a cat and a penguin.
With this collection, Art club made ceramic clay ornaments and strung beads on the spray painted bottles and regular bottles. We added a spout so they could be used as dish soap dispensers or olive oil.
Some Art Clubbers got really detailed with the beads and wanted to use the really small seed beads.
