The Colourball process
- Lots of bottles are found, sorted and collected.
- They are washed very thoroughly (with bio-degradable detergent) and dried.
- The handles and bases are carefully removed, and each bottle is splayed open into a semi-flat ‘sheet’.
- As many flowers as possible are cut from each bottle.
- Now each flower has to be formed from a ‘flattish’ shape into a more 3-dimenional form – each petal is folded in half, and individual lines are creased into each (by hand). This forms the flower, and makes it more translucent where the lines are… adding to the detail and finish of the finished piece. (So if a flower has 6 petals, and there are 9 lines on each one, someone has creased 54 lines! For ONE flower).
- Finally, One flower is done!
- The excess plastic off cuts are returned to the recyclers.

“Re-use as a design tool (and material) is still extremely under explored, and it holds so much potential – both as a source of raw material and as a beautiful limitation.”

These are really awesome. I’m always looking for ways to upcycle. what kind of fixtures were used? I would worry about it melting. Has anyone tried LED bulbs?
