Illustrated tutorial on making DIY vases using old magazine waste

Every time I pass by a newsstand, I always buy one or two magazines to pass the time. As time goes by, unknowingly, the old magazines at home become a little overcrowded. However, many magazines cost more than ten or twenty yuan when I bought them. After reading them once, I lost interest. It is a pity to sell them as scraps. They take up space at home and have no value in collecting. Alas. !It’s really tasteless. . So, I decided to use them to recycle old things, and transformed them into a creative paper vase. The effect was pretty good, and it can be regarded as our contribution to green environmental protection.

Preparation method:

1. Cut the old magazine paper vertically into four strips, and use a knitting needle to roll the strips into paper rolls. The best diameter is 3MM. The amount of paper roll required is large, so please roll more.

8. Keep knitting upward. When you reach the desired height, start to close the edges. No need to use glue. Just insert the remaining paper roll into the gap of the finished paper roll, and then cut off the excess. Lose.

9. Okay, that’s it. You can keep the liner inside, but of course you can also take it out.
