Well, today I'm back to participate in the before-after contest hosted by my best friend @enveng. A challenging contest because it requires us to have creativity in reprocessing materials that are no longer used into useful and valuable objects.

In this opportunity, I will show you my simple creation in processing used cardboard waste into a product, namely a photo frame.

As for the materials and tools that I use, namely

*Scissors, knifes, rulers, pens
*Glue and tools
*Used cardboard
*Saga seeds
*Dried wheat flowers
*Clamshell

saga seeds and shells as decoration

Making process

*step.1
Cartons that are no longer used are removed and the parts that are still fit for use are taken. Then remove the top layer of cardboard using a knife, so that what appears is the second layer of cardboard. This layer seems jagged. This section will be used later as a photo frame

Step.2
Cut out the cardboard, according to the size of the photo that will be attached to the frame later. This cardboard functions as a place to attach photos. then the jagged part of the cardboard was also measured and cut as well. This jagged part will be used as a fringe edge les. Then stick it using glue to form a frame.

Step.3
After the photo frame is finished, now is the time to add decorations to the edges of the frame, to make it look more beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. The garnishes used are dried oats, clam shells and saga seeds. Paste and lay out on these frames. The photo frame is finally finished and ready to use.
