Eco friendly calendar from recycled paper

-

  


    This is not a tutorial, but more a gift idea if you like a mix of natural and eco friendly, but also a practicality.


    For the recycled paper all you need is shredded paper (in this case newspaper) and a tutorial which is easily found on youtube. 

    Remember that the paper must be quite thin, otherwise it will only jam up your printer. So it is best to press it flat between two flat boards under some considerable weight .

    Choose the twelve best quality papers which also are similar in thickness to computer paper, and find the calendar design you want.

    I will most likely post a tutorial for recycled paper later on.

Because of its relative softness in comparison to paper, when gluing to a cover, it wrinkles much less. This way you can use the various designs found at the shops or create a new design by turning it over and using the blank side. The end result gives you a soft textured feel and look.
