Recycling Newspaper

Sew, I've been recycling! Found a fantastically detailed instruction guide on how to make these storage boxes. Find the tutorial here in totally green crafts.

Aren't they full of character! For this box (the prototype!) I used felt to bind the edges and brown paper to line with. The felt was days to glue on and wouldn't fray...plus I can pinking shears the edges. To add detail I thought about embellishing with all sorts of things...sequins/buttons/glitter. For now, I used one of the origami paper bows which  I found a tutorial for here on let's create!

I think they'd be fab full of crafty goods, all stood in a row!
