So I know papercrafting was in March but I didn't get to show you anything or really do much as the table settings are very beautiful but simple. I bought a new magazine yesterday called 'Making'
(http://www.makingmagazine.com/page.asp)
which had a really lovely idea for making a bowl from old magazines so I thought I would have a go. This is the sort of thing that I really like as it is recycling and making something original. Here is how I have got on so far
I rummaged through the recycling bin and found a catalogue and magazine which I cut into 5cm wide strips
I used 2 different sized magazines so the rolls would vary in size
Using a small knitting needle I then rolled the paper around the needle at an angle
to make a tube which I then flattened
Then made into spirals.
I then lined a bowl of desired size with cling film and started to glue the spirals to each other.

The bowl will be made up of these spirals and should look really fantastic, however I have to make about 200 spirals so could be a while.
I will keep you posted
