Today’s economic situation, more than ever, necessitates that we look for inexpensive materials for art. Also, with people concentrating on recycling, the use of materials over and over again gains significance.
Youngsters generally are fascinated with boxes and they use them for play and creating toys. Adults find them, interesting, too, and on their own or with children find creative uses for them.
Some crafty uses for boxes, which range from jewelry containers to those huge ones encompassing appliances:
- Houses painted in exotic or realiztic colors
- Trains
- Airplanes
- Animals
- Tunnels
- Base/canvas for artwork
- Sculptures with small boxes
- Mixed media and fabric art coverings
- Weaving
