Turning a Plastic clamshell packaging Into a Beautiful Wall Decor
Edited with photo collage app
#Creativity has a way of opening our eyes to #possibilities where others see nothing. This project started during an official duty in a customer shop. As I walked in, something inside the trash bin caught my attention. It was a Plastic clamshell packaging that was originally used to pack a baby food flask and spoon. Many people would have called it useless, but creativity has shaped me to always look beyond the surface. So I picked it up, knowing it would be useful someday, even though I had no idea what I would use it for at that moment.
Later, as I sat down to think, the idea of turning it into a wall decorative piece became clear.
Materials Used
Plastic clamshell packaging
Foam
Shining dust
Top bond gum
Artificial flowers
Silver ribbon
Candle wax
Gravel
Perfume bottle cover
Blade and scissors
Steps Taken
I started by cutting a small opening on the clamshell packaging to create space where the flowers would sit. This part was a bit challenging because the material was flexible and needed careful cutting.
Next, I removed the cardboard at the back and used it to cut out the same size on a piece of foam. I glued the cardboard and the foam together with top bond gum.
After that, I primed the surface of the foam with gum and sprinkled the shining dust on it, then left it to dry. When it dried, I fixed it back into the #Plastic #clamshell packaging Iand used my stapler to hold it firmly around. I wrapped the edges neatly with silver ribbon until it looked smooth and bright.
Then I added a beautiful perfume bottle cover as an extra #decorative detail. I also used the silver #ribbon as the hanger at the top. To give it some weight and a natural feel, I poured gravel inside the scrub housing.
Finally, I arranged the #artificial flowers, and everything came together beautifully. I felt fulfilled, ready to hang it in my space, but my boss liked it so much that she claimed it for her office. That made me even happier because it showed that the work was appreciated.
Creativity will always suggest possibilities in things that look useless. It goes beyond crafting and touches every part of our daily life, teaching us to see value where others see waste.
