For those who loved to discover are challenged to do a project of this sort. Some materials that are no longer used can still be used if we recycle them, put decorative effects and color or paint it. Several Christmas decors mostly come from these discarded materials. With our knowledge of assembling or putting together, an additive sculpture can be done. Just collect some of the light discarded materials which were thrown as trash and let us make them as a new object that can be useful to us.

This project is called a “Trash Sculpture” and is very easy to do. This simple decorative project can provide us with satisfaction and at the same time can help in recycling. Imagine if all school kids in the world would do such project as this one, we could imagine how much resources is saved and recycled.
