RECYCLED COLLAGE DESIGN CONTEST at Wolff's Flea Market

A genuine twist on recycling! Ever wonder what to do with the bits and pieces that end up in your junk drawer and dark corners of your house? These objects defy sorting, serve no purpose and might drive some of us crazy!


Well, now they have a calling! We will collect these bits and pieces to create a RECYCLED REPURPOSED COLLAGE at Wolff's Flea Market Palatine


PART 1: Kids and adults, present original drawings for the collage outline. Use your own paper or pick up a form at the Palatine information table. Free admission to the market with presentation of your design.

Find out what's happening in Palatinewith free, real-time updates from Patch.


Customers and vendors will vote for the best one and transfer the winning outline to a 3' x 2' wooden project board.


Please include your name and contact information on your design
