Creative Crafts Using Newspaper, Magazines and Painting

By Lib Jackson




A creative person can make creative crafts. It isn't only fun to make but also a great bonding activity with friends, kids, or the whole family. Crafts could be a form of relaxation particularly if you have nothing to do during weekends, or if you are bored and wanted to do something productive. Making creative crafts are terribly cheap and you can make use of them in your home as a decoration, as a gift to your mates or even as a school project for children. Now, what's the best material to make as a craft? Here are some great ideas from our save on crafts blog.

Craft Ideas using Paper and Mags

Not all materials used in creating must be bought in craft stores. Use the things in your house that you believe that you don't need any more like newspaper or mags. Rather than buying art papers, utilize old mags or comic books, if you have, to cover old shoeboxes. You can add sequins or buttons to look it more engaging. You can also cut lovable pictures from magazines and paste it in your diary or scrapbook.

You can transform a newspaper into a mask. If you have got a plastic mask at home, cut the paper into strips, dip into the water and glue it all over the mask. Spread glue unto the mask so that it will remain untouched. Repeat the same process three times. Once done, you can paint it or design it whatever way you want.

Paint! Paint! Paint!

Painting can do so many creative crafts. You can paint old boxes with blinding colours or make fun of it by painting animals, trees, a place, or bots. This may be a perfect craft toy for children. Also, you can paint boring plain bowls, vases, bottles and tin cans. Use it as a home dcor, penholder, and a lot more.

There are so many things to do in crafting. It doesn't need to be expensive. Just use the things in your house, style it to transform into creative crafts.
