About This Activity
Trash to Treasure Fashion Lab is a hands-on, imaginative design class where young creators transform everyday recycled materials into one-of-a-kind wearable art. Using items like cardboard, paper, fabric scraps, plastic packaging, and other “discarded” treasures, students explore basic fashion design, sustainability, and engineering concepts while building creativity and confidence. Each session introduces a new design challenge —such as making hats, costumes, accessories, or runway-ready outfits—encouraging problem-solving, color theory, and self- expression. Students will sketch ideas, experiment with textures and structure, and proudly showcase their eco-friendly creations in a mini fashion show at the end of class.
