[...] Does anybody have a great idea for creative newspaper recycling? I found a few lists at The Craft Gossip Blog Network, which included these extraordinary newspaper slippers:I’m thinking these will be great gifts [...]

I love to see innovative ways to recycle newspapers.
I bought some fair trade gifts from the Bishopston Trading Company in the UK last year and they pack all your purchases into these bags:

Hello.

I’m passionate making handcrafts using recycled newspaper. The techniques I use are, turning old newspaper to paper straws and weaving process to make baskets, vasts, side table lamps, etc. For coloring, I use timber tone or colored varnish. At first look, it is hardly to distinguish, either it is made from cane (rattan) or, it is really made from recycled newspaper

I recently decided to use up some of my old wine bottles to make something interesting for my garden. I cleaned off the labels & used modge podge to glue on old beads, sea glass, etc and then set them in my garden..some pointing up, some pointing down. They make a nice stand for my gazing balls which are just foam balls decorated w/ stones, glass, left over beads & glued to the top of the bottle. They are really quite interesting & the kids love using their imaginations to make something out of our trash!

Do you know of any crafts to make out of pinecones? I’ve been looking for quite awhile and haven’t found much.
