Trash to Treasure

Our friend Ajdin is having a contest to use trash to make something - the post is HERE

The timing is perfect - we're just about to make something!!!

We've got a pile of paper bags we've been given from various shops so we collected them all up and split them down one side.

See?!  Quite a collection!!!

We trimmed down the sides so they're roughly the same kinda size - can you tell what we're going to make?!?!

Then we had to punch three holes down the centre fold.  One bang in the middle and two more two inches either side of the middle hole.

Then we suddenly remembered we had a piece of packaging paper from an Amazon box!  We can use that too!!!  We quickly trimmed that down to size and punched the holes in.

Right, now it's time to bind the pages together with bakers twine.  (that's posh string!)

And then tie it off tightly in the middle!

And we now have a new junk journal!!!!!

See?!  Good huh?!

And if you don't have enough papers to make a book, you can always do potato printing over it and turn it into wrapping paper.  Or turn them into funky envelopes.
