Ideas for Recycled Art Projects
We're all spending a lot more time at home these days, and a lot of us are looking for ways we can still stay creative while laying low. Home improvement projects are on the rise, which is not surprising since we're stuck looking at walls that need fresh paint or furniture that needs a makeover. Here at Aleene's, we've been thinking about how to make the most of time at home with supplies we already have at home - it's what we're good at! So we've put together a list of recycled art projects made with Aleene's Glues you can DIY to add some extra love to your space. Let's get started!
Did you ever think paper would look amazing turned into a statement piece like a chandelier? The proof is right here! For this recycled art project you can use just about any kind of paper you have at home; pages from a book, construction paper, metallic papers ... the list goes on! Put it all together with instant hold using Aleene's Instant Tacky Glue Dots.
This might be another one of those materials you never thought could look beautiful turned into an art piece, are we right? Popsicle sticks? You mean the thing our kids create with? That's what we're talking about! Get that food coloring out of your kitchen cabinet and check out how you can create the coolest recycled art project with some extra help from Aleene's Original Tacky Glue.
You don't have to take a trip to the beach to find a cool piece of wood for this recycled art project. Walk outside and grab one left over from your winter wood pile! Faux succulents are a great way to add some greenery to any space (without any extra care-taking work). Check out this easy tutorial for creating a succulent planter using Aleene's The Ultimate Multi-Surface Adhesive.
A lot of people are getting creative with their lighting lately, and we can't say we blame them. It's fun to put your own artistic flair into your glowing ambiance! This recycled art project pairs Aleene's Wood Glue with twine and beach balls (or large balloons) for twine pendant lights that will look so fab in both indoor and outdoor seating areas.
Do you have some old books you never read anymore, just sitting in a bag waiting to donate? Why not turn them into a recycled art project?! Check out this easy tutorial for turning old books into a rustic wreath using Original Tacky Glue and a wreath form.
Some of us like to save corks from parties to use for craft projects, and some of us just like wine - a lot - all the time. Either way, this recycled art project puts those leftover corks to good use with a peg board that's fun and functional. Get out your Ultimate Multi-Surface Adhesive and get ready to get crafty!
Do your kids have some old puzzles with missing pieces stashed away somewhere? Or maybe you're just over trying to figure out that ONE puzzle. You can still turn it into a work of art with Original Tacky Glue and spray paint. This tutorial features hearts, but feel free to get creative and make a different shaped wreath if hearts aren't your thing!
We hope this list of recycled art projects has you feeling inspired to stay creative with items you likely already have at home! How will you put your own twist on the list?
