Recycled Object Sculpture

You can build a sculpture by joining everyday objects you find. A tin can, bottle caps, wire, wood scraps, and a cork can become an animal shape.

In the picture

  1. A cleaned tin can: the body of the animal
  2. Bottle caps: round pieces for eyes and wheels
  3. Bent wire: legs shaped by hand
  4. A cork: the head or snout

Examples

  • A robot made from cardboard tubes and buttons.
  • A boat made from a plastic bottle and sticks.
