Crafty Recycling Project

I stumbled upon this project and have been saving it to try it on my own, but I just couldn't wait to share it with you. Check out this super cute basket made from newspapers:

Here's the supply list (I love that he included a cup of coffee... a must, I think.):


Check out the complete instructions, along with how he was inspired to try it. I'll post up my efforts when I do it... Do let me know if you try it. I'd love to see those baskets!

I love it! I think I'll raid my parents stack of old newspapers and attempt to make this. Thanks for bringing the crafty fun to my week! I so needed it.

Hmm I think I'll have to snatch my dad's paper this weekend and give it a try. It looks adorable!

y this is so cool. I would be much more likely to make this if we did it together. collect newspapers, so will I and you can come over with kids and we will each make one! Deal?

I found that a few weeks ago too!!! I have been saving the comics from the paper for a few weeks so I have enough to make a basket. Not sure what I will use my basket for, but I NEED one!!
