Recycled Bottle Art

At Keep Seminole Beautiful's Earth Day Event with the City of Casselberry, the Florida Sculptors Guild helped teach kids to create sculptures with recycled water bottles. It was a huge hit with the kids. Before the event, I was amazed at how easily we collected tons of plastic bottles. It really gave me a perspective on how many plastic bottles Americans go through. Within 2 or 3 weeks we had garden trash bags full of them. Plenty of material for the kids (and the sculptors) to work with. On the weeks leading up to the Earth Day event, sculptors gathered at my house to paint, cut, and construct. We created bold beautiful flowers, intricate detailed flowers, cool jellyfish and octupus, palm trees, and twirly things.
