Looking for a way to add some sustainable flair to your home decor? These recycled newspaper bowls are not just practical, but they’re a creative, eco-friendly statement piece for any room. Made from upcycled newspaper, these paper bowls have a rustic, natural feel that can be styled in so many ways.
I personally love the idea of repurposing something as ordinary as newspaper into something beautiful and functional. Whether you use them to hold keys by the door, as a decorative centerpiece, or even to organize small items on your desk, these bowls are perfect for adding a touch of eco-conscious charm to your space. Plus, they tell a story, each bowl made from layers of recycled paper, giving it unique texture and character.
Why these bowls are a must-have:
Made from recycled newspaper, turning everyday materials into functional art
A stylish, sustainable storage solution for your home

These newspaper bowls are perfect for those who want to make a small change that has a big impact on both style and sustainability. It’s a simple, yet effective way to add some thoughtful design to your home, while helping the planet.
I love this coaster idea! I have a bunch of leftover tiles that I was just using plainly as coasters. Now I am going to dress them up in this way. I actually did something similar with a shoe box that I dressed up for gift giving. Check it out: http://rustic-crafts.com/?p=149
