I loveeee recycling! As a artist I see so much waste and how things can be reused into items or peices. I recently discovered handmade envelopes. Its amazing what and how many envelopes you can make with a magazine, a newspaper or some waste paper and cards I have made quite a selection of little envelopes so many I’ve organised them into selling stacks on etsy. (If your intrested check out my etsy http://www.etsy.com/karmacrane) If your wondering how I make them out of newspaper or a0 sheets I have a simple guide
1. Divide and Conquer! Divide your page up in to fourths! Now cut the bleed print edge this is the waste area of your page. Then cut the forths.
2. Know when to fold them! Start folding your envelopes there are plenty of tutorials out there on google and the best idea if you have a favourite envelope use it as a template!
3.Double or Nothing! With some types of newspaper and magazines you might need reinforce it so double the paper up with the construction of the envelope.
4. Tape!Tape!Tape! Double sided tape I find works best with envies it stays put and hardly moves!
Know I am on the verge of moving again finding a place with my partner so I will not be doing many swaps but I’ll keep people as updated as I can. and swaping whereever possible!
Now Ive started organising for the move using the 3 box techinquie.
1 Box. Keep.
2 Box. Throw.
3 Box. Swap/sell/donate.
so wish us luck Miss Karmacranes
AH HA!
