Playing with paper ~

I have been playing with paper lately.

I put most of a vintage book through a paper shredder.

Then I crumpled it up in bunches to give it that

crinkled look.

I have a huge basket overflowing with crinkled

paper goodness for all kinds of projects now.

I also wanted to try my hand at using a book

to make a folded paper tree ~

while it is very easy I realized right quick that I should not have used a vintage book for this as the pages are old and somewhat brittle and don't fold as well as they should. Neat idea though. {saw it on the martha show a while back}

{haven't finished the tree yet}

This is something to do while you are sitting and watching tv with your significant other. lol

Go forth and play with paper today... you have my permission.

Blessings~
