How to make gift bags from newspaper. When I bought something at a store recently, the clerk handed me my purchase in a bag made from a newspaper. I liked it very much and had to make some more—thus today's DIY recycled newspaper project: gift bags made from the Wall Street Journal. You can vary the dimensions, of course, but here's what I used to create a bag that's 5" tall, 4.5" wide, and 3" deep. Stack two sheets of newspaper on top of each other. This will be a two-ply bag for extra sturdiness. Cut out a rectangle that's 15.5" wide and 8.25" tall.
If your paper already has a fold in it, align the existing fold with one of the fold lines in the diagram below, unless you don't mind an extra fold appearing somewhere on your bag. I cut out this rectangle, then flipped the paper over so the blue area would be on the outside of the bag. Fold a flap 1.25" down from the top.
Cut two pieces of cardstock or chipboard to 4.25" x 1", then glue them on the widest two panels just under the top fold. Paper Starburst Pendant Light. So I had a different project that I was going to post today, an update version of my Book Pages Pendant Lantern from Project 19, but then I started working on this light idea, and I am so excited by the results I just couldn’t wait to show you guys! My inspiration and guide was this light from Design*Sponge, that I spotted on Pinterest. I really liked the idea, and I had a roll of white vellum lying around left over from college that I thought would look beautiful.
So I started cutting triangles. And then I started glueing. And cutting more and glueing more. And it was at about the third round of this cycle that I realized, this light was going to take longer than I had anticipated. The roll of vellum that I was using was 24 inches long. I think I glued the pieces on much closer than they did in the Design*Sponge tutorial, but I wanted a really full look. All in all I think the light is pretty awesome, and I can’t wait to post it on Etsy, though I’m a little bit worried about shipping. How to Make a Coffee Table from Wine Crates.

What Kate Told Me. “High School Musical gave me unrealistic expectations that I would be asked to prom while dancing and singing on the roof of our school in the rain.” -Unknown Well, ladies and gentlemen: I’m back, and my only excuse for my four month hiatus is the beginning of my college career.
I’ve been busy jet-setting to New Orleans for college journalism conferences and have even been able to enjoy the occasional glass of…apple cider. But regardless, I’m back and I trust you’ve missed me. Over the past few months I have been repeatedly contacted by my senior-year prom date. For some people, this would pose little to no potential threat. However, when your senior prom was single-handedy ruined by this individual, their drunken Snapchats are not-so-welcome. For high school students, prom season may not be here yet, but I can assure you that many have already begun bookmarking dresses online and are religiously adding different hairstyles to their Pinterest boards.
