That’s cool – I’ll show my wife, she’s home with our 4 year old that is sick with the flu… that should keep them busy and their minds off being sick..

I think that spray paint isn’t very eco but it’s the only option there is right now that I could find for this craft. Covering plastic isn’t the easiest thing.

I use the Krylon low VOC spray paint when I can but it will crack and chip off the plastic if a plastic primer isn’t used.

I think the benefits do outweigh the risks of using psray paint but I have no scientific basis for this. I just know that if the plastic headed to the landfill that would be bad and if it went to be recycled that would take a huge amount of energy to recycle it into somethign else.

By taking what’s already there and upcycling it into something that is fun to make and cute to use for decorations it has a double plus with just one minus.

This is super cute. But I had a philosophical question about the use of the black plastic spray paint for this upcycled craft. Does the use of the spray paint outweigh the benefit of keeping the plastic out of the waste stream? (I kind of think it does, but that’s me) I’m really curious what others think, because I’m always trying to figure out ways to upcycle items, but then feel I’ve somehow cheated if I use a toxic material to assist in the upcycling process.

That is SO cute and would be so much fun to do with kids. Thanks for the great idea, I’ll be linking.
