CRAFT PROJECT UPDATE: Paper Goods

I haven't written much on the blog this week because I've been super busy crafting with paper. It started last weekend when I wanted to make product tags for my craft fair out of some old paper grocery bags I had. That turned into making gift tags with the extra bags, some cereal boxes I was going to recycle and fabric scraps from another project. Then I picked up an old world atlas at the thrift store thinking I could make something fun. I used the atlas along with some old scrapbook paper to make confetti and note cards. Then I used the remainder of the atlas maps to make bottle cap magnets and paper balls that I will sting to make garland. Its been a productive week. Once I figure out packaging and pricing I'll have some of this stuff up on Etsy soon.

Oh yeah, I also saved all the left over scraps from cutting out the world atlas and if I get really motivated I might make recycled paper out of it so I can do it all over again!
