autumn leaf bouquet

DIY Faux Curled Rosewood Wreath {Made From Rolled Recycled Book Pages}

How to make gift bags from newspaper

http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-make-gift-bags-from-newspaper.html When I bought something at a store recently, the clerk handed me my purchase in a bag made from a newspaper.
