WWU students turn take items from dumpster to decor

Written by Zoe Fraley | The Bellingham Herald | January 28, 2013

Western Washington University industrial design students have turned waste into something wanted for the annual ReMade project.

The students turned scrap piping into vases, discarded rope into doormats and old wooden coat hangers into kitchen utensils, to name a few.

Students will show their projects from 6-9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1, at Ideal, 1227 Cornwall Ave.

Here are a few photos of the projects:
