This is one of the funnest + cutest project I've done to date. By far.
It all started with a pile of beautiful store catalogues accumulated over the months. What was I to do with those paper stunners? The trash bin didn't seem right. So I after some creative-aerobics, BANG! The idea for this DIY Recycle-Your-Fave-Zine Necklace came to me.
Wanna give it a try? This is all you'll need…
step by step
After you gather your materials, this is how to make your very own necklace...
Step 1: Strip down your favorite zine into small paper parts.
Step 2: Roll away each paper strip + add silicon glue to the tip to keep in place.
Step 3: Continue rolling all your paper parts. Be alerted, it will get sticky.
Step 4: Cut your recycled paper tubes to the desired length. I cut mine unevenly for that asymmetric necklace look.
Step 5: Apply water base sealer to all your paper tubes + let dry for a few minutes.
Step 6: Poke each paper tube with thin needle + pass elastic fisher's thread through.
Step 7: Keep going until you form your desired necklace design.
Step 8: Add your jewelry end to finish off.
Step 9: Voila! Que bonito! Love it!
I feel like I can wear this DIY Recycle-Your-Fave-Zine Necklace with so many outfits, it's kinda out of control.
