Submitted by: Eva D'Amico, an art educator from Ontario, Canada.

Objectives:

Learn to make something great from recycled materials.

What You Need:

  • egg cartons
  • detergent
  • water
  • pot
  • screens
  • newspaper
  • any odd wool sparkles,etc. to add to paper

What You Do:

  1. Encourage children to tear up egg cartons, put in pot with detergent, cook on low for 2-3 hours, put in food processor, until smooth consistency.

  2. Add water to mixture before and after cooking.

  3. Strain through screen until desired thickness--flip over onto newspaper, put more newspaper and towels on top.

  4. Cover with heavy books, etc for 24 hours. Peel off paper and let dry for 24 more hours--can also make bowls and other fun stuff--put flat paper works the best. You can also use old newspaper and other scrap paper.
