For this project, I made a duck beanie baby toy. When I was a child, I had a stuffed animal duck that I loved and wouldn't go anywhere without. One day, I left it in an airport and never saw it again. I was upset, but always remembered how much I loved that toy. Instead of just doing a stuffed animal, I decided to make it a small beanie baby. For the body, I used an old bottle and filled it with curled up orange and yellow paper. I made the head and feet from cotton balls and painted them orange, yellow and gold. The arms, mouth and beanie baby tag were made of cardstock paper. For the eyes I used matching bottle caps. I transformed what was once a small bottle into a child's toy made from recyclable materials. Unfortunately, my camera broke during the process of making this so there isn't as much documentation as I would have liked.
