Paper Straw Frame

recycle magazines into frames

saw this in a book and gave my twist on it.
A good way to recycle the thousands of old magazines i have. made a great present for my parents

gather supplies
cut the magazine pages into 3s

roll into straws diagonallys
so fold a triangle from the bottom right corner (for me it's easier on this side, but i'm lefthanded so that might be the cause) and roll (this is a bad picture but it gets the general idea)

glue paste makes things work :)
make about 20 per frame sometimes more

glue the back of the picture onto your piece of cardboard (i cut out of a shoebox). don't worry about cutting it smaller, the straws can easily cover edges anyway (and will if you want it to look nicer)
cut the pointy ends off of the straws
they should be flat/round...like a straw!
glue on with wet glue
and make sure to cover the picture a little bit, but evenly.
trim edges with a scissor and voila!
