Recycled Window Art

Recycled Window Art

Time:40 min Difficulty:Easy  

Show some love for our planet by creating Earth-themed mosaic art to display in your window—made with recycled materials, of course!

Here’s what you need:

  • Blue and green paper scraps: old magazines, newspapers, mailers, or seasonal cards, whatever you can find!
  • Cardboard, like a cereal box
  • Glue
  • Plate
  • Art supplies to decorate (optional)

Here’s how you make it:

Step 1:

Cut your paper scraps into fun shapes and sizes.

TIP: If you can’t find much that fits the theme, you can use some markers, crayons, or paint to make your scraps blue and green!

Step 2:

Place a plate upside-down on your cardboard and use it to draw a circle. Take the plate off, and cut out your circle. This will be your Earth!

Step 3:

Mark the areas that will be land and water on your Earth mosaic.

Step 4:

Glue your colourful scraps to the base in a mosaic-style, filling in all the empty spaces. 

Once it’s dry, hang it up in the window so your neighbours can admire your masterpiece as they walk by!

  1. I don’t have any green or blue paint, crayons, or some glue sticks for that project and my mom don’t let me to make it because it could make a mess
