DIY Recycled Newspaper Tubes Bowl
"Almost everyone has some form of newspapers lying around and it's so easy and simple to create something decorative and unique! Imagine rolling strips of newspaper into tubes and then, using an easy weave technique, make a lovely bowl or basket. How cool is that! And you know you've probably tossed newspapers in the trash on a regular basis and chances are, once you make something, you may never want to toss your papers again! Making one is so easy and fun, a great way to recycle and can become very addictive!"
