First, I want to greet @enveng as the originator of creative ideas for this contest. Warm greetings from me🤗😘. It is an idea that I really like because, the process of reuse, reduce and recycling is supposed to be applied and become a habit in our lives, to save the earth from a pile of garbage.

As for the before - After activity, which I will show you on this occasion, is the process of making tissue containers from used shoe boxes that are no longer used.

Materials

• used shoe boxes
• glue and tools
• Patchwork
• Ribbons
• Scissors, cutters, pens
• Red saga seeds

Making process

Step 1
Prepare the used shoe box, then the lid of the box in a hole. First draw the pattern, then cut it with a cutter knife. The aim of the holes is later to be the place for the tissue to come out.
