paper woven box ..for gift ideas

The size of the box i made is....6 inches by 5 inches with cover on it...
all paper that already folded ,you need about 21 pieces of it....

For the cover 6 by 6 equals 11 plus 2 on both side so all are 13 pieces for the box cover,...i will explain in the image below..

i use the paper pliers..its more strong to newspaper..bit glossy too..

for the bottom of the box...you need 6 by 5...then you will need 11 folded paper .
the folded pieces size is 16 inches long by 1 inch .

make a cross image  and apply glue to the center of the cross to attach together 

and continue weaving the 6 by 5 pieces..they should look like this..you can see below the video tutorial ..

and take more 5 folded pieces ,and add to any side of the cross ..

like this ...

Wall Decor made of News Paper

Hi people ....I'm now going to show you something beautiful for display in your house..a home wall decor...you don;t need to spend money to buy expensive wall frame to your living room or bedroom...
here is the idea...you just only need an old news paper and a solid board..to make a frame...
  well buying a home decor frame is available everywhere...some are expensive ,some are affordable my point here is..handmade project for your home decoration is more fun and exciting.....and be proud of your work after you've finished it..the feelings is very relieving ...
  especially if you are boring ,make something interesting from the things without spending much money..and give attention to reduce your trash around your home..and news paper is the one thing you can use to your crafts..to make a cheaper home decor...in a small amount,i purchased a fly wood in a store were the place of carpenters buying their things.,,i got this for 240 yen ,,3 dollar in the US i think..or you can use a solid card board if you don't want to spend money...i used wood board to make a lasting life..planning to bring it to my mothers house soon...

see the image below of the results...

And how i made this...
the materials i used are..

Old news paper.. and Handmade Newspaper Roses With leaves,,,Watch the tutorial for this 
Scissor
Ordinary white glue
Super adhesive glue
Paint colors
glitters ..gold etc
Top color..can use varnish or nail polish ..its optional..


i think that's all you need..
how to make..
  First you have to clean or wipe the wood..and rub plenty of torn news paper...and place them one by one...watch the decoupage method,....i did this by doing the decoupage method...i used my fingers while gluing them...if you're glue is not creamy or its liquid type you can use a brush..mine is creamy so i used my hand by rubbing one by one to make it flat..

For more details watch my Video making of this..just click the image below and enjoy watching..

D.I.Y. Handbag Made of Crocheted CD`s

well,well, hello hello..people...it so hot today....how about your place there ?
yeah....project project .....
Thinking about a new project is not easy but its exciting and fun...its a challenge for me every time i create a unique project...or to make my original project
especially if its from trash materials...like plastic bottles .news paper or old Cd`s..

Because its summer here in Japan..i figure it out  to make a bag using  recycled materials....
i know i can make bag out news paper .....i can make bag out of plastic bottle....but i`m thinking can i make bag out of Cd`s..?....actually year 2009 i used to crochet ,and i also made crocheted Cd..i made this as cover ..
   I also saw many project of crocheted Cd`s on the web..like purse or small basket ...they have used 2 Cd`s.....while viewing them...i continue thinking and thinking ..if its possible to make a handbag ..but not only 2 Cd is needed..

so i made an experiment ... i want  to know if i can make bag from Cd`s...I get all my old Cd`s ..and lay them all on the floor...staring them ,thinking  about an hour , then i tried to assembled them to form a bag...   here `s  what i did first ...
I get 4 Cd`s for front of the bag  and 4 Cd`s at the back. .. 2 Cd`s on left side and 2 Cd`s on right side..and 2 Cd`s on the bottom part...That`s it............i saw it...i can make a bag.........then next method is.. how to connect them or attach them together to form a handbag image..and i know crochet can help that problem....yeah...how to connect Cd`s to Cd`s..that `s it..now i `have done it perfectly..

so cute handmade bag...

nice for fashion 

so now...lets me share with you how to make handbag from Cd`s..

MATERIALS I USED..
12 old CD`s ...
make your own handmade flower...i used crochet rose..12 pieces..
2 crocheted handle of bag...i made 300 crochet chain for one handle so you need 2 of this..
needle and thread to attach the rose ..
scissor of course.
i used 2 white yarn..or more depends how much your crocheting consume...any type of yarn is okay..
3 to 4 purple yarn...for flowers and to crochet the edges of Cd`s

 crocheted Cd..

 How to crochet Cd....first .you have to tie the yarn into the Cd ...by passing through the hole pull it and tie the yarn..

tied like this..

Before you connect Cd to Cd..you have to add more crochet chain into the crocheted Cd`s ..to make it  more durable..and design also...like in this photos.....make 5 crochet chain to form a petal .

  connected Cd`s to Cd`s..

crocheted rose...i will do tutorial for this soon..

just make 300 crochet chain ..2 times of this..can add more crochet chain to make it thicker
