Let your imagination run free

what to do with garbage?

many people suggest to recycle the wastes but i always try to convert those waste products into useful one.I made a flower pot using the ice cream sticks and made a small robot using matchboxes.Now i am trying to make something using the matchsticks.
do you have any idea? what do you do with wastes?

My dad actually made the most fantastic windmill out of matchsticks - it took him a long time but even now 30 years later he still has it and its such a great piece of artwork.; ▶ Reply to This
