recycle magazines into frames
saw this in a book called the 'Big Ass Book of Crafts' (btw greatest craft book ever!) and gave my twist on it.
A good way to recycle the thousands of old magazines i have. made a great present for my parents
WARNING: your fingers will be covered in glue

You Will Need
-
Step 1gather supplies
-
Step 2cut the magazine pages into 3s
-
Step 3roll into straws diagonallys
so fold a triangle from the bottom right corner (for me it's easier on this side, but i'm lefthanded so that might be the cause) and roll (this is a bad picture but it gets the general idea)glue paste makes things work :)
-
Step 4make about 20 per frame sometimes more
-
Step 5glue the back of the picture onto your piece of cardboard (i cut out of a shoebox). don't worry about cutting it smaller, the straws can easily cover edges anyway (and will if you want it to look nicer)
-
Step 6cut the pointy ends off of the straws
they should be flat/round...like a straw! -
Step 7glue on with wet glue
and make sure to cover the picture a little bit, but evenly.
trim edges with a scissor and voila!
