Instructions
1. Lay out recyclables to form a creature. If any of the pieces have flaps like egg cartons, you may want to close them with masking tape.
2. Using the hole punching tool, poke medium sized holes in the recyclables where you want the pieces to be connected. It is best to do this part for kids, as it can be difficult to pierce through some recyclables, especially plastics.
3. Connect the pieces by threading zip ties through the holes and locking them. Keep the zip ties loose. Trim the extra length.
4. Paint your creature.
5. When dry, decorate it with anything you want! Then, go set it up in a chair. It might startle some people.
