Creating crafts with waste materials

Taking advantage of a Pringles container I decided to make a pencil container to give a new use to this material. To do this we are going to cut it out and decorate it with a handmade drawing, a pixel style figure. So let's get started.

We start with the creation of the drawing on a grid sheet, where we will mark each square with a HB 2 pencil that will shape the image and then outline them with a black ink marker.

Then colored with colored pencil.

We remember the image.

We paste the drawing on a white sheet with glue stick, and color the background.

We join the sheet with the Pringles container to be cut to length: 13 cm.

Place transparent contact paper.

And that's it! We are done with our work 😃 What do you think?


I hope this will motivate you to do it. And remember you can comment at the end of this post, I'll be reading and giving you feedback. I also appreciate all the support received from all of you.



Without more to say I'll see you in a next installment.


Until then 😎👍.
