I made this collage for my sweetie, and then reproduced it so you can all share the love. Because nothing says “I love you” like a ransom note.
It is available in my Etsy shop as a greeting card and as a 5x7 print. Get ‘em while they’re hot!
Happy Valentine’s Day!! ♥
Don’t you just hate it when you go to a party and lose your wine glass? Is this one mine? No. Wait, I think I left it over there… Nope. Darn.
It is apparently rude to use a Sharpie to label your name on your host's good glasses (I've been reprimanded more than once), so the next best thing is a set of wine glass charms. Just remember your color and you're good to go!
This set of six charms features bits of newspaper crafted into sturdy beads, accented with colored glass bling. Fantastic as a hostess gift or for use at your own party (assuming you aren't serving wine in Red Solo Cups). Cheers!
In this digital age of GPS and Google Maps, who needs to keep an entire U.S. atlas in the car?? Mine was wrinkled and bent and about 10 years old. So I salvaged the clean pages to make stationery sets! Now, you may be asking… “In this digital age of GPS and Google Maps and EMAIL, who needs a stationery set??”
Touché.
I. Love. These.
Similar to my original newspaper coasters, this version is square and oh-so-hip. Huey Lewis would be very proud.
It’s always so fun to read your email and find a message that your product was featured in an Etsy treasury… It completely makes my day. Thank-you SunshineSisters for including my newspaper coasters!

This weekend I went shopping at Second Reading (a local second-hand bookstore) with my family to get some new/old books for the kids. While we were there, I happened to notice a shelf with $0.50 books. On that shelf was a hardback copy of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. FIFTY CENTS! The first 16 pages were missing, but who cares? I’m not going to actually read it.….
The stationery set turned out great.
Did I mention that the book only cost fifty cents?? Maybe I should take the $26 that I saved by buying it used/damaged and get myself a manicure. Yikes.
As if I need another excuse to save paper. This pencil set is so fun! Each set of five pencils has been carefully wrapped with color comic pages from the Sunday newspaper, before being varnished and pre-sharpened.
Each set of five pencils has been carefully wrapped in vintage sheet music, varnished, and pre-sharpened. They coordinate perfectly with my “Songs of the 60’s” sheet music stationery, and would make a wonderful matching gift set!
Hey man, can you dig it? Here’s a gift that your favorite music teacher, music student or any music lover will get jazzed about. Each envelope features sheet music from a “Songs of the 60’s” piano/vocal/guitar book, and comes with coordinating flat note cards. Groovy.
Coming soon to a sweaty beverage near you: Square Newspaper Drink Coasters.
These are still a work-in-progress, but here’s a preview of my latest coasters. Armed with a glue gun and the Sunday paper, I’ve created a *square* coaster to nicely complement my original *round* Newspaper Coasters that I made this summer. More pictures to come after I complete the set!
Do you have countless plastic grocery bags falling out of your closet because you feel guilty about clogging up the landfills with even MORE non-biodegradable material?? I know I do. Actually, delete “do” and replace with “did.”
What happened to all of those bags? I transformed them into PLARN, of course! Next question: What is plarn?! Plarn is a PLastic yARN…. In this case, created from plastic grocery sacks. Next, I scoured the web and found a pattern for crocheted scrubbies. I adjusted it a bit (mostly because I’m not very good at crochet, and couldn’t follow the pattern properly), but I think they turned out fairly well. Perfect for scrubbing dishes and pots – the plastic is durable but soft, so it won’t scratch. I tested it on my non-stick pots, and it works nicely!
