After the pen pot from my previous post, I worked on another of the paper woven products - this time using a mix of painted and original newspaper tubes. I must say I am quite happy with the way this one turned out. This was a desk...
So I have been experimenting with making some woven products using the original newspaper tubes, without colouring them. This was the first of them - a pen or pencil pot. This time I tried both ways - one I made using...
Here's to a blessed new year 2021! Well, the year has had a good start for me and I was able to work on my first order for this year - a box made from newspaper tubes with a touch of decoupage. I am very happy to see the results...
Merry Christmas, dear readers! Hope this season brings you much joy and peace, despite the problems that still persist with the virus! Here are my latest favourite projects - Leaf trays made from newspaper tubes, using...
Its that time of the year! A time of joy and cheer! And on my blog, this is the time to create some Christmas themed newspaper weaving crafts! So this year, I decided to go ahead and redo the leaf tray from my previous post! Using...
A little experiment for making a small, leaf-shaped tray, in time for Christmas! This little tray has been on my to-do list for quite some time now, especially since I have already made a couple of leaf trays using the...
This time of coronavirus has meant that I have received very few orders for my newspaper weaves during this year. But well, there is always a silver lining - I was able to work on my weaves, experiment with colours, try out new weaving...
After the lovely origami that I folded last month, I decided that I wanted to do something in newspaper weaving that is a little big - big enough to contain a fair amount of stuff, rather than the usual, small pieces that I...
The first order for a magazine rack came through during the covid lockdown. So I decided to hunker down and start working on the rack during the end of June. The client gave me the option of choosing my own colours, so decided...
Continuing with the project from my last post, I worked on a pen stand, using the same colour combination - dark purple, mauve and cream. It was again done using the coiling technique, using newspaper tubes. Weaving the tray...
After completing the woven Mother's Day bowl, it appears that I still am a glutton for punishment 😅😅 I tried out more of the coiling technique, using newspaper tubes. Well, I had a second reason for going ahead with this tray...
Apparently, tissue holders continue to be my Achilles heel, when it comes to newspaper weaving! After my previous attempt at weaving a snail-shaped tissue holder, my second attempt did not turn out to be much more of...
Today being Mother's Day, I wanted to make something for my mom. Well, with the lockdown in place due to the coronavirus, shopping was out of question. Which means, I decided to try out one of my newspaper weaving projects....
Stay Home Stay Safe! Who would have thought that a microscopic virus could bring the world virtually to a halt?? While this pandemic has had a terrible impact around the globe, it is during the lockdown that I have been able...
Here is another of my newspaper weaving trials - a tissue holder shaped like a snail! A couple of years back, I had tried a pot holder shaped like a snail. And had been quite happy with the way it had turned out. So, this is...
Given the intense newspaper weaving session from the last post, I decided to do something a little simpler. So here is my pair of pot holders, made in aqua and white - the colours of my parents' living room. For quite some...
A few months back, I had made a leaf-shaped tray using the technique of coiling with newspaper tubes. I decided to revisit the tray, this time using wood-stained tubes, the same ones I had used for this box with lid. This tray...
More newspaper weaving, this time using magazine rolls. I had rolled up these tubes in the fond hope of making a pen holder. But for one reason or the other, I never got around to making them. So finally, thanks to new year resolutions,...
So, after the last post on all the popular origami from last year, I realised that newspaper weaving was lagging behind. So I decided to try and complete at least 12 projects of newspaper weaving this year. With that goal in mind,...
Happy New Year 2020! The old year has passed and as we step into a new year, here's to a wonderful, peaceful and blessed new year to everyone out there! PaperNPearlz has been doing pretty well this year! Posts have been fairly...
