New Craft Challenge with Craft Klatch!

Back in September, Mona from Craft Klatch and I challenged each other to come up with something amazing for the holidays using toilet paper tubes and buttons.  We had so much fun coming up with fun recycled projects that we have decided to do it again!

This challenge involves newspaper.  Oh, and it has to be Christmas themed.  Other than that, no restrictions!  We will both work separately and reveal our projects to each other and to all of you on December 1!  Hmmm….I definitely have worked with newspaper before.

My Quilled Paisley Monogram is made from recycled cardboard, with newspaper paper mache, topped with white quilling.

For my Flapper Mannequin Heads, I used a paper mache technique over styrofoam.

Oh, and there are the pendants I made from cardboard, newspaper and fabric!

So many ideas!  It is going to be fun to come up with something new and original.  I mean, Mona is some pretty stiff competition.  Check out some of her fun projects:

Resin Christmas Coasters from Craft Klatch

Paper Covered Cone Christmas Tree from Craft Klatch

Oh, and what about the fun results from the last competition?

Mona’s creation- a beautiful star ornament, and mine was a quilled Christmas Tree napkin ring!  You can find both tutorials here!

So with a bit of newspaper and a ton of imagination, who knows what we will come up with next?  The competition begins today.  Stay tuned and the big reveal will be on December 1!  The winner?  Well that will be you of course!  Two new crafty tutorials!
