Recycled Art Project
I particularly love this art project because it gives new life to the milk jugs and reduces the need to purchase new materials.
Milk jugs are a common household item that can have a significant impact on the environment.
Recycling and reusing milk jugs can reduce the amount of waste in landfills, and the recycled plastic can be used to make new products.
