trash art window hanging

art from recycled materials 

To make a wall hanging, all you need is a collection of plastic bags, rinse clean of debris, cut them open and use the colors you find appealing. My translucent window hanging was made of various bags and netting used to hold onions and potatoes. Use a stapler to attach the loose pieces to one main bag.  At the top of the bag I made some hanging tabs for a dowl stick. The twine is made of plastic bags twisted in to a "yarn" which can also be used for making crocheted items.

Newport Oregon is a unique area which values artists, musicians, poets, writers, quilters, photographers, thespians and the like. In December 2017, I plan to enter one of my recycled art projects to be featured in the "Pushpin Show" at the Newport Visual Arts Center. plastic bag art

I see many welders into making art  out of old metal, especially farm machines.

William, I see old tractors and farm machines used as yard art in our rural area, helps to identify the driveway on the highway.

Thanks for your comment!

Very neat! So many things can be made from old and recycled items.
