How to Upcycle...

Endangered animal mosaic

Each month Upcycle Micheal shows you how to upcycle some old materials into something super cool!

What you need this month...

Treasure Box Materials.jpg

Upcycle a box to turn old packaging into a treasure box. Use it to store your best seashells and favourite treasures!

Cardboard box and lid
Plastic bottle cap, jar lid or round piece of card
Pencil, Scissors, Glue & Glue brush or stick
Paint in white, blue and yellow & a paint brush

The Upcycle...

Step 1

Paint the outside of the box and lid with white paint.

Step 2

If the box’s own patterns are showing through, leave to dry and then add another layer of white paint.

Step 3

Once the white paint is dry, paint yellow bands across the lid and down each side.

Step 4

Paint a blue stripe around the bottom edge of the box.

We hope you enjoyed this month's upcycle! Join us next month for something new!

Don't forget to send your results to hello@hapsie.com
