L'Association Art Bio is engaged in the protection of the Environnement and developps its activities through artistic adventures in the South of France, in Pézenas, jewel of architecture in "large Provence".

We organize a yearly Artisitc Meetings (around June) to allow artists and public to meet around these great challenges of our times : waste.

BECAUSE OUR WASTE IS OUR WEALTH...

• Wallet making from TetraPack (brick of milk, fruit juices or other drinks)
  

We used some TetraPack, made out of aluminium and coated-plastic cardoboard.

The alumnium side will be the inside of the wallet; the coated-plastic cardboard makes a strong and longlasting (and even Waterproof) wallet!

Start by folding in 2 the small side parts inside.

fold these folded parts in 2 again

it should look like this after

you can see the side precisely here

Then fold in 2 lengthwise. Then decide which side shoud be the front (we'll cut the other, so keep the nice part!)

press strong together

This TetraPack of Spanish wine is very handy, as its design show where to cut (cut about 1cm from the top)

Then, at this mark, cut in the side, at the same length.

fold the middle bit left back inbetween (also see below)  

This is how it looks from inside (left) and outside (right)
