The show gave the students a chance to make things with their own hands. It also helped them learn to make good use of waste and not to throw everything away.
Students had lots of good ideas. Some found used things, like old clothes, to make new dresses.
“We hope to save energy. Our world is short of energy. So I don’t want to just throw old things away,” said Xie Jing at Linyi Art School.
Xie had more than 20 discs on her nice blue dress. She got them from her family and friends.
“Though the discs are old, I look very cool in them!” she said.
