Lets Make a Mess

Amazing Newspaper Crafts

October 2, 2011 by Rachel 14 Comments

Cotton Bird Designs makes the cutest little birds. I especially love these little newspaper birds.

How About Orange {love this blog!} shares a great tutorial on how to make gift bags out of newspapers.

Under the Table and Dreaming makes this cute wreath out of recycled book pages. You could do the same thing using newspaper.

A Storybook Life teaches how to make these beautiful beads from recycled newspaper.

Check out this dress from the Recycled Runway event on All Things Paper. I can’t believe that it was made out of newspaper.

I love this newspaper basket from Craft Stylish. Even though it looks like it would be difficult to make, there is a very helpful tutorial that looks pretty simple to follow.

I am fascinated by this newspaper jewelry from Newspaperjewelry.com. I love the juxtaposition of expensive Swarovski crystals and free and common newspaper.

Did you know that you can even use newspaper as wallpaper? I love how this looks. It is so interesting and beautiful. Source: You Have Been Here Sometime.

These newspaper yo-yo flowers from Zakka Life are very cute. They would look cute on greeting cards or as gift wrapping.
