Question
I have a art home work where i have to make the word RECYCLE out of recycled materials, by either
drawing them,
painting them or

and for the C i have shrunk packets of crisps in the grill then stuck them on in the shape of the letter C

as for the letters E,Y,C,L & E i have no idea i would like to draw something

please help

Answer
Emma, What a cool project! I'm in the middle of moving today to a new house, so I don't  really have time to help like I would like...but let me give it a quick try! If I don't come up with enough for you, write to my daughter who is the most creative person I know. Her name is Hannah... hannah@ipgbook.com

Do they need to go with the letter??? Like start with E, egg carton, that type of thing?

Meanwhile:

hmmmmm.
e - egg carton (see the other E for more ideas
y - yarn bits and threads
c - cardboard, candle stubs, old wrapped hard candy or candy wrappers, cotton balls, clothes pins, brtoken crayons, crepe paper from birthday parties, cancelled stamps, carpet samples, cellophane, cloth scraps, corn husks,
l - lace scraps, lids from jars, leaves, leather scraps, linoleum scraps
e - egg shells, crushed (from hardboiled eggs), Easter grass, emery boards

This should get your going. I would use any of these in collage... you know, cut up stuff and glue it on.
Think about finding a magazine picture like a picture of clouds for C, and tear out that page. Then trace or draw the shape of the C letter on the magazine picture. Cut it out. Then the letter will be filled with clouds.

Good luck!
