Design*Sponge » Blog Archive » diy project: recycled scrap paper notebooks
we blessing sisters have loved notepads, notebooks and all things paper since our first wide-rule pads we bought in gradeschool. we have trouble letting go of even a single sheet of paper, lest we find a use to reuse or recycle it in the craft room! this time, we repurposed our old faxes and paper scraps into notebooks and made them useful again. we pulled out old wrapping paper, books we didn’t mind ripping pages out of, and other odds and ends to make the covers pretty. this is quick and easy to do with what you already have at home, and you end up with a stack of handy, useful pads that might even give you a tinge of back-to-school nostalgia. – bbbcraft sisters CLICK HERE for the full how-to after the jump!

10,000 Newspapers On Google Maps
Newspaper Map is a new tool for locating and reading newspapers from locations all around the world.Photos via Carolina Fontoura Alzaga Artists Carolina Fontoura Alzaga has a way with bike chains. She transforms old bike parts into some seriously cool one-of-a-kind chandeliers. They have a certain steam punk style that we love, while also upcycling up what might otherwise go to the landfill. Carolina states , "This body of work draws inspiration from Victorian chandeliers, DIY and bike culture, and the use of unartistic materials."
