transformation

[heathercooze.livejournal.com]

I have a transformation project to do for school, where I have to take an object (ordinary, found, garbage/recycle, etc) and turn it into something else. I was so excited at first, but now I am totally stumped.

I checked out the recycle art section over at Craftster, and found a link to this site,

I want to do something like this or this . But I don't know how to do those kinds of weaving (well, I don't know how to do anything like that) could anyone please explain?

I am open to other suggestions. I want to use something I have a lot of (beer bottle caps, empty water bottles, colourful plastic bags, cd's/records, cardboard, toilet paper rolls) or stuff I can find for cheap or free (paint samples, magazines/newspapers, ??)

any help is much appreciated, thanks
