Re-use your magazines for papercrafting
Want to practise your
paper craft but fed up with
buying origami paper?
Why not re-use magazines
you have? Don’t panic if
you don’t have any, you
can do it with any free
newspapers or magazines
that you can find. Try this
by making a cowboy hat
(instructions are on pages
28-29).
Be prepared to unravel that knit you never used
Knitted a hat, scarf or
gloves but never used it?
You could unravel the knit
to create something you
would be more likely to
use, for example - a tablet
or mobile phone cover to
protect it from scratches.
Why buy more when you
can simply re-use yarn?
Always do your craft designs in pencil
It’s always best to do
that initial craft design in
pencil; you can’t rub out
pen (or even the pens you
can rub out don’t work as
well as pencil does). If you
do decide to draw it out
in pencil, you can still see
if it will work or if it won’t
work as a craft design.
