Phonebooks


Do you all wonder about the constant stream of phonebooks being left on your doorstep? I oculd have easily just recycled them, but being the crafty type, nothing goes to the recyle without spending a good amount of time in the house as a "possible art project".
For a while I had been thinking about painting in them and we finally did it. This first time I just let all the pages stick together, but imagine..... tear them out once painted and you have a great collection of wrapping paper. Paint one side and make butterfly images. Learn about symmetry!
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO WITH OLD PHONEBOOKS??

  1. This is a great idea, Sara! Thanks for thinkin' it up. I really want to make Asher a new mobile for over his changing table. He's out-brained his Stim Mobile (b&w) and needs something new to look at. Any ideas? I was thinking shells, beads and colorful ribbon.
