Recycle! Print with Packaging Materials by Birgit Koopsen

Hi
there, welcome to the Gelli Arts® blog!

It’s Birgit
here today and I’m back with a new recycle video!

This
time I’m using packaging materials.

Unfortunately
almost everything we buy in the supermarket is packed, a lot of times, in
plastic. That’s a lot of trash we create!  But, when you take the time to look
at your waste with different eyes (i.e. the eyes of a gel printer) then you will
realize that a lot of this so called trash makes perfect printing tools. This
is also great when you are creating on a budget!

In
this video I’m showing you 3 different types of packaging; egg cartons, pill
strips and cookie trays. Each of them makes beautiful and surprising prints! I
am sure you can find many more “waste” items to use in your printing sessions!

So, I
am challenging you to look at your trash with gel printer eyes, create
something beautiful, share on social media and tag us @gelliarts so we can see
what you came up with.
