Nescafe Sachets Turned Into Snake


January 24th, 2008

by Cecile Cinco

I promised the kids to put this on their site Kids Are Crafting, which is still under renovation. And why not? They were the ones who made this snake. I just taught them what to do with each sachet, how to fold it and what it can turn into. I just want to display it now because it’s really new. ;) Maybe I can do some practical joke with it and place them in the shower of some apogee condo south beach units. :D Continue reading »

Also, since I am a recycler, most of my creations are from recycled stuff like juice foils, tetra packs, noodle packs, coffee sachets, tarpaulins, etc…which are detrimental to our environment if we just burn them up. So I design something useful…functional…so that instead of adding to the incinerator, it will still continue to do service to the globe and its inhabitants to make it better by not making it worse.
