The other day , I was just going through different things you can make
with newspapers…
The huge stack of newspapers which we give away as
raddi..can be used in so many ways.
There is a huge list of creative articles which you can make
using newspapers.
For example , bowl
:
You can use that bowl to keep all different kinds of
things , lipsticks , clips , rubber bands , watches , pins , jewellery ,
earings, chains , powder , so many small small things.
We usually use glass bowls or ceramic bowls for keeping
all these stuff.
Bowls made from newspapers are very much tough as ceramic
bowls.Also it wont break even if u drop it.
You can make bowls of various shapes , colour them and
decorate them the way you want . Make a customize bowls J
We can make bowls using newspapers and balloon and
fevicol.
Another thing , you can make is boxes.
Make small rolls of newspapers , stick them together and
form a box , basket.
I even saw a person had made a small cupboard with the
same technique and it looked very cute. J
This box is very much hard and tough.
I have made a small wall hanging using this technique.
Another thing , is small paper sculptures.
Keep them in your showcases. They look really nice and
elegant . They need to be done neatly.
The sculptures when done neatly , look like real life
people.
We can make sculptures of people , animals.
We can also make weaved baskets out of the newspaper
rolls.
I had learnt making weaving baskets out of cane.
However getting cane sticks of proper thickness , cutting
them is a bit tedious to get and make baskets.
Making the same using newspaper is way easy and much more
convenient.
You can decorate them the way u want.
I made some , which I use to keep small-small things.
I am gonna try to make bigger one , with a different
design . J
All we need is fevicol and newspapers.
Some people have made flower pots out of newspapers.
I don’t know how feasible it is or how many days it can
last , but some of them have used it.
Then there are other things which you can make out of
newspapers like paper bags , flowers , handmade paper , small envelopes of
folders.
These are common things.
