Creative ways to turn your trash into treasure!

What do those little soy sauce fish packets, bathroom tiles and comic books have in common? They can all be upcycled! Mathew talks to artist Bean Bowdon about ways to repurpose materials you're no longer using into beautiful art, jewellery and all sorts of creative stuff.

Bio - Bean is a young queer artist based in Boorloo Western Australia. They have always had some sort of artistic tool in their hand, seeing how things could be looked at in a different way. Roadside collection and opshops have always been a perfect fuel for their works as they find ways to reuse discarded items. Their particular interest is creating wearable art, and they hope to inspire others to do the same.

Honestly thank you so much for this, my country’s only landfill is said to run out of space by 2035, and yet normal people really can’t seem to care, and barely recycle right because I see the wrong things in recycle bins all the time, even with labels at the front of the bin stating clearly, exactly what to and what not to recycle. It’s so frustrating, and no one seems to take me seriously when I tell people about this, so thank you for making videos about saving the earth, and I hope at least a few get really popular, more of the global population needs to take a stand too, not just environmentalists. I wish I could upcycle but my parents don’t allow it and would probably throw away whatever I make as they think it’s “dirty” or “not needed in the house” smh. Really I just can’t thank this channel enough for making me not feel like an outcast, keep doing what you’re doing guys and I’ll play my part too.
