My experiences in making the recycled crafts
In my experiences in making recycled crafts i had a lot of fun in helping out my group mates in looking for the materials and making the wooden lamp with them even it took some time it still made a great impact on me because i managed to create a recycled craft or should i say the wooden lamp from used wood and old extension wires. Although it was a bit hard, it was worth it because learning something like it was very entertaining and was very useful for me.
