NEW BOWL WITH LID
Just finished this bowl today. I made it from Discover, Science and National Geographic magazine pages. Once the strips were rolled I coiled them together and then brushed them with glue. After the glue dried I sprayed the bowl and lid with varnish.
These are good to recycle those magazines that you don't want anymore.
They will fit any décor.

This is my first news paper candy dish. I cut up a news paper into strips and the rolled them up to make a lid, base, handle and bottom for the bowl. I painted the bowl with Burgundy and Ocher acrylic paints.
Lastly I sprayed the dish with a clear varnish to give the bowl a high gloss shine.
These take some time to make but they make great gifts using inexpensive materials. I fount the idea for this bowl on You Tube.
I think the next bowl I will make I will use magazines again and make a small container that can be used foe paper clips etc.
Now these can't be washed but they can be dusted off .
So if you have some magazines and news papers sitting around try your hand at recycling them into something useful or gift giving.

MAGAZINE PAPER VASE
Here is the first vase I made using the pages from a magazine. Each page of the magazine was rolled into a tube and then flattened in a pasta rolling machine. Then I applied the flattened rolls to a large glass vase with white glue. Once the paper was dry I sprayed the vase with a clear varnish to protect the paper and keep the paper from getting damaged. It took one magazine and several hours to complete.
