The Judges Committee has awarded this submission EXCELLENCE IN RECYCLING

PROJECT SUMMARY

My project is about making a pencil case. I used a bottle that is no longer used.

WHY?

I had this idea because I wanted to make something useful out of a material that was no longer being used.

HOW?

I got a soda bottle, cleaned it, and made the necessary cuts. Then, I used one of the zippers we have in the Makers' class and added it to the bottle using hot glue, following the design I had made.

WHAT?

I think the result was really good. I have pencils in it already.

SO WHAT?

My results show that I can make cool things from things that people throw away.

WHAT'S NEXT?

I could decorate the outside of the bottle.

REFERENCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

It was my own idea.

JUDGES FEEDBACK

This is a fantastic project! Repurposing an old bottle into a pencil case is not only really creative, but also eco-friendly. It's great to see innovative ways to recycle materials and give them a new life. Your pencil case is both functional and unique. Keep up the great work, and I'd love to see more upcycling projects! Maybe a backpack?
