Tuesday Tutorial - DIY Paper Projects

Do you have some extra scrapbooking paper laying around or maybe some office supplies you're not using? Maybe you can make one of today's featured projects or perhaps be inspired to come up with your own paper crafting project.

The first one I'd like to share today is from www.simplyvintagegirl.com I love all the different papers  she used to create this notebook. It looks pretty simple to make as she has complete instructions with photos.




Next, I found this great way to recycle cereal boxes. The way my family eats cereal, I could have a whole shelf full of these in no time. You'll find great instructions on how to make these at pittypatpaperie.blogspot.com



This one is clever too... a Button and String Mini Journal from www.thecreativeplace.blogspot.com. You'll find instructions with photos to walk you through every step.


Last and certainly not least, I found these really cute stars made from paper. You could use these for all kinds of things. They'd be really cute as bowl fillers, in a jar, on a Christmas tree, etc. Instructions are here... www.umeorigami.com


Thanks so much for joining us today!

Happy Labor Day!



ALWAYS FINISH

If a task is once begun,
Never leave it till it's done.
Be the labor great or small,
Do it well or not at all.
