How to Recycle Magazines Into Bowl. Recycled magazine baskets. Some buddies came over last night and we made magazine baskets.
My paper weaving phase is getting out of control. In the spirit of spontaneous DIY experimentation, we decided to create a new drink, whereupon we mixed peach vodka, raspberry lemonade, and Venetian Carnival Pinot Grigio (purchased for its exciting label). Recycled magazine coasters. My latest after-dinner-while-watching-TV project: woven coasters made from magazine pages.
To make a coaster like the green one above: 1. Tear out 6 magazine pages. Cut off the ragged edge on each, then cut each page in half lengthwise. I stacked them and cut them all at once with an X-acto knife and ruler. Newspaper basket. Last night's project, a basket made from old newspaper.
After seeing this post at CraftStylish, I was inspired to try one. Maybe I'll keep books and remote controls in it. 1. I cut the folded edge off a couple sections of newspaper and then cut those pages in half lengthwise.
