Looking at the stack of old magazines that I had ploughed through, part of me said "Just chuck them in the recycling bin!". Another part said "What could you do with these?" So this is the list that I made:
- Using it to wrap breakable things for packing - it sure beats the carbon that is left behind from the newspapers we usually use. Much cleaner in my opinion!
- Shredding it and using it as stuffing in wrapping presents - cheaper than using new colored paper.
- Make disposable boxes - very useful for messy craft times and dinners with loads of cast offs e.g. crab eating sessions
- Make paper chains - fast and easy decoration for parties and the like
- Origami - endless possibilities!
- Make paper beads - the kids love it for stringing or playing. Their imagination is the limit!
- Make paper dolls - I love cheap toys that allow children to use their imagination. Can you tell?
- Make collages - I remember doing this when I was in Primary school!
- Paper basket weaving - great as containers!
- Paper boxes - it can look nicer than you think!
Hopefully, I'll be able to put up some photos of the above projects (if I get to do them!) over time with instructions. Watch this space!
