Plastic bottles became piggy banks and vases, egg carton bottoms formed flowers, and papier mache yielded masks and figurines. The two hour daily program created bracelets, jewelry, dolls and mats, now on display at the Main Branch of Delaware County National Bank and the West End Branch of Fidelity Philadelphia Bank until August 8.
