Some “Natural” Ideas

Leaves, sticks, bark, roots, flowers, seeds, soil, mud, clay, rocks, grass, pine cones, etc.

We’re discouraging the use of clothing, fabric, sheets, curtains, etc. Some exceptions could be: burlap, billboard material, discarded paintings on canvas, etc. We are looking for creative use of unconventional materials to turn trash and natural materials into wearable art.
