E2. Create an original artwork using recycled materials

Under the topic Excellence in the Arts I chose E2 'create an original artwork using recycled materials'. I made was a fruit bow out of old magazines.; my mum found the idea on a site called Pinterest. All I needed was a glue stick, hot glue gun, old magazines and scissors. The instructions were simple - firstly,  I needed to carefully rip the pages out of the old magazine. I then cut the pages in half and folded them three times. After that I wrapped the folded strip of magazine paper around a glue stick to make a circle shape I then continued to wrap the strips around each other until I had made a big bottom for the fruit bowl. When I had finished that I made lots of little circles and glued them around the the bace to make the walls. I kept gluing the circles around the sides until I reached the height I wanted.

This it what it the fruit bowl looked liked when I had finished it.

This is the magazine when it had been folded.
