Creative ways to recycle a bike box

It’s always great to transform a box into an exciting art project like this one, Uttam created a Harry Potter-themed museum. Using a sponge and mixed paints a lovely brick wall was created. You can paint or stick on items as much as you like and get really creative. In this project, the use of Lego came in useful, and themed posters and books helped make this project come to life. You can always transform the box into another project for school like a family tree museum with artefacts and books which belong to grandparents.

“I was super happy to start this project because I wanted to use this box many times for school stuff. The box had brick patterns, so I could change it easily every time. For my first project, I made a Harry Potter scene inside the box. Then, I did another project about my Great Grandad's life, with his books and cool things like a museum. I like that I can take everything out and make the box look however I want.”- Uttam Singh.
