Aurel Schmidt has finally put cigarette butts to good use. Her cigarette butt artwork turns discarded cigarettes into awesome artwork.

Cigarette butts are definitely an unusual choice as an artistic medium. These pictures look so playful and childlike at a glance that you would never guess that they were constructed out of old butts.
