http://alittlehut.blogspot.com/2007/09/recycle-project-no-7-magazine-bowl.html This project took me so much longer than I thought it would. I may not be finished yet (I'll explain in a minute) but I want to move on to other ideas so I decided to post about it now. I certainly didn't reinvent the wheel with this one but it was something fun and super easy to make. Materials: - a magazine (I didn't use more than half of a magazine) - glue gun I started by making a tight little roll and making the flat circle that I showed you the other day. This can also make a useful trivet if you continue the flat shape to the desired size.

How to Make Paper Pencils (tutorial) | scissors.paper.wok - StumbleUpon

I have always wanted to make my own pencils, but the thought of shaping two pieces of wood to allow a piece of lead to sit perfectly inside made me think it wasn’t worth the effort. For some reason I was looking at some pieces of lead I have (for a drafting pencil) and “pop” there it was.. a solution to my DIY longing. Here is a tutorial to make pencils that is so ridiculously easy I’ve made 10 pencils since the idea came to me yesterday! Enjoy. http://scissorspaperwok.com/2012/01/04/how-to-make-paper-pencils-tutorial/
