Magazines, newspapers, flyers and leaflets - these are all free ways to accumulate a large batch of paper for recycling into art and decor projects. What inspired this feature is an email that I received offering a couple of recycled paper projects that are for sale, and made me realise that there is money to be made by recycling (free) paper into art and decor accessories.
The piece in question, and shown above and below, is a colourful work of art that is made using recycled paper. Look closely and you will see how folded paper has been crafted into squares which are then placed together to create the design. What a wonderful idea. This particular piece of artwork retails at just under R1000 (on special at the moment) and can be found on Cielo.co.za.
A similar example of using recycled paper for art and decor can be seen below. This picture frame is made up of hundreds of folded pieces of paper and is also for sale on Ciele.co.za at just under R2400.
This unique picture or mirror frame is made up of recycled paper that is folded and arranged to create a 3D effect. So clever. The paper is folded and arranged for maximum effect and it really does look stunning on a wall.
With recycling a priority for everyone, using recycled paper to make your own art is a great idea. It's also a brilliant way to earn a bit of extra money. There are plenty of examples of recycled paper being used to make art and decor accessories to be found on Etsy and similar sites.
Folded or rolled, or even quilled, there are so many ways to use recycled paper for artwork, crafts and hobbies, whether for yourself or to bring in extra income.
