Creative DIY Projects That Turn Trash Into Treasure

From Junk Mail to Fine Art

by

junkmailart.jpgPaper craft extraordinaire Patricia from A Little Hut has created a series of recycled art projects on her blog, including this first in the series of six (so far). For this project, she simply cut junk mail into thin strips, glued them onto sturdy cardstock, then placed an abstract flowerlike cutout on top before framing.

Patricia’s “craftswomanship” is impeccable, and each of her finished pieces would fit swimmingly into a clean-lined modern home. Be sure to check out the rest of her other recycled projects, including other fine ideas of what to do with that irritating junk mail.
