About
saw this in a book called the 'Big Ass Book of Crafts' (btw greatest craft book ever!) 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
WARNING: your fingers will be covered in glue

You Will Need (4 things)
- 1 Old Magazine(s)
- 6 in Cardboard
- Elmer's Glue
- Glue Stick
Steps (7 steps, 180 minutes)
-
1
gather supplies
-
2
cut the magazine pages into 3s
-
3
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 :)
-
4
make about 20 per frame sometimes more
-
5
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)
-
6
cut the pointy ends off of the straws
they should be flat/round...like a straw! -
7
glue on with wet glue
and make sure to cover the picture a little bit, but evenly.
trim edges with a scissor and voila!
