So's arts and crafts

Buna tuturor! In 21 decembrie, la libraria  Carturesti  de pe strada Mercy, din Timisoara, impreuna cu  Incubator 107 Timisoara  am facut braduti din hartie reciclata... mai exact din reviste, asa cum ati vazut intr-una dintre postarile mele anterioare. Participantii au avut o rabdare infinita...:)) si printre canile de ceai cald si amintirile pe care le-am depanat, au pliat revistele pagina cu pagina. Iata ce-a iesit: Dupa ce am teriminat bradutul, urmeaza ornatul...                                                                                   foto: Larisa Plesca Le multumesc tuturor ca au venit si sper sa ne mai intalnim la ateliere si anul viitor! Craciun fericit!

Hello, This will be a very quick post, just to show you the small Christmas tree I made from a magazine (the idea is not mine, I found the tutorial on the internet) The trick is to use a magazine with lots of pages, and to have a lot of patience...:) as you have to fold the magazine page by page. How it's done? First bring the top right corner of the page to the binding of the magazine. Then fold the page one more time to the binding. Fold like this all the pages. In the end, fold inwards the small corners that form at the bottom of each page. glue together the two covers of the magazine and you have your tree! It's that simple...:) After you finish it, you can add some glitter glue or fake snow or any other embellishment you like. Some of the pages from my tree are a little wrinkled because I had to take it to transport it in a bag...but you can get an idea about how it should look like.

Hello all, Here's a small bowl I made from some folded magazine pages. This is my first attempt at this technique, after seeing some extraordinary bowls, boxes and photo frames in a small shop in Holland last year. They were sooo nice! When I got back home, I searched the internet for a tutorial to get me started .Here is a link to one of them:  http://savedbylovecreations.com/2011/07/recycled-paper-wall-art.html If you like it, try it! (This is also a fun way to get rid of the stack of old magazines we no longer need...:)...)
