We love seeing Waste to Art entries like this come to life! 🐸♻️

Students at Fraser Coast Anglican College are creating this colourful frog from bottle caps collected through a school-wide sustainability challenge.

Their Year 5 Eco Warriors have collected an incredible 11,000 bottle caps so far, with other local schools joining in too. The frog is their mascot, making it the perfect inspiration for their entry.

They’re even turning some of the plastic into 3D printing filament to make pens! 👏

There's still time to get working on your entry and there's prizes up for grabs! 🎨 Waste to Art entries are open until 16 October.
