Business card people

Stack of old business cards quickly becomes an army! 

Yellow versus white - go!

 

Paper Cutlery

I sewn some cutlery and had a frog for dinner. What can you make by sewing paper?

It's easy and fun shapes arise quickly. You can use the pattern above or just make up your own shapes.

I used thin cardboard (cereal box will do), and a paper napkin to cover the plate. 

A tip - don't make the lines you sew too curvy, because it will be difficult to pass it through the sewing machine.

Paper Top

What's more fun then a top? The one you made! :)

To make these paper tops you will need some old newspapers and toothpicks.

1. Mark and cut the newspapers in even stripes. (keep the oppened part of the newspaper toward you)
2. Glue ends of stripes to each other so you get one long stripe (in a nice messy pile).
3. Glue the stripe to the toothpick and start wrapping. Make sure to tighten the paper every once in a while as much as you can. The tighter the better.
4. Once it is finished, you can adjust the shape to a cone if you wish.

Spin, spin, spin!

Paper Rocket

They will zooom in front of your nose, chase you around the house and ultimately get lost behind furniture.

To make them you will need paper, glue, scotch tape and a plastic straw.
1. Decorate the paper.
2. Put glue on one of the longer edges. Then role the paper around a pencil starting from the opposite side.
3. Close the top of the rocket with scotch tape.
4. Insert a plastic straw and you are ready to go.
