Mag-Paper earringsFairly simple craft. Took me less than hour.
I don’t think you will need instructions for making these. Have a look at the pictures you will understand the procedure.

wire

Note: Fold the bigger strips into smaller ones and then start rolling the strips.

You can experiment with different sizes. You can also attach a smaller circle below to make them look more noticeable..
You can make pendants too in the same way.
They look fab with lose hair. These paper made jewelry not only look fab but also make a statement by spreading the “Green” message. Recycle is the word :)

They look beautiful trust me!
These look amazing on your table, perfect for a candle light dinner.
They also look beautiful in the day light on your desk to show off your artistic taste.
Have a look at what I made today. They were fairly simple to make and it took me around an hour to make these.

I tried some random ideas. I am really bad at drawing and designs. While doing the floral design I kinda left the paper cutting of the leaves hanging. Liked that look.
If you are planning to try this idea, do not use the paper around a candle with out a glass votive.

Think twice before you throw the papers/magazines into trash next time. They can be put to better use with little effort :)
I tried to make a simple container with the waste papers today. The structure is not so even as I tried different sized circles.
Here is the result of what i made today.
It was little strenuous and it took more than hour for me to do this.

Well the options to use it are endless. Its left to your creativity.
We can also make some beautiful jewelry with the magazine papers. I will update it in the future posts.

This one was pretty simple to make. But be ready to spend some time and get your hands dirty with glue :)
