Upcycling: paper beads

I found a tutorial on paper beads and had to try it. I just have to say…beware. This craft is so addicting. 

To make paper beads, here’s what you need:

• colorful paper – I used magazines
• glue
• cutting board and x-acto knife
• something to roll the bead on like a toothpick or shishkabob stick, knitting needle or wire
• wax paper
• string or jewelry cord
• optional – a small paint brush

hard waste collection

Upcycling: paper covered glass jars

Every time I open one of my craft drawers, this little box of washers (that I used to make these paper clips) spills. 

I was thinking about being lazy and throwing them in a baggie but I seized the opportunity to find a cute container project.

Recycled prettiness

recycled paper flowers

I learned to make paper flowers a long time ago with directions from a library book. They don't require any adhesive, and there are just four shapes to cut out.

ornament craft: DIY striped paper ornament

My Christmas tree needed more orange (of course), so I made this little thing. It appears to be a spaceship which has crashed into a circus tent. To make your own circus spaceship, you'll need two colors of regular paper, scissors, needle, thread, pencil, ruler, and two beads.
