What could you create from our colorful skateboard wheel shavings?
These long, curlicue strips of plastic are the byproduct of skateboard and scooter wheel manufacturing and are donated to Art From Scrap by Powell-Peralta Skateboards. They can be fashioned into wigs, clothes, party decorations… the possibilities are endless. They would also make a great Sea Weed costume, according to Julie, one of our ReUse Store shoppers.

Reusing materials is an easy way to create a one of a kind Halloween costume, save natural resources and money.
If you’re celebrating Halloween this weekend, you still have time to make a costume. The Art From Scrap ReUse Store will be open Friday: 10am-2pm and Saturday 10am-3pm.
Happy Halloween from everyone at Art From Scrap!
