How to Make Simple Quilling Paper Coils - The Papery Craftery

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I have to start out today with an apology.

I have been so focused these last couple years in creating fun quilling tutorials, that I've never sat down and written about basic techniques!

That ends now! I'm happy to say that I'm finally taking the time to photograph some posts detailing some simple how-tos for the beginner quiller.

Starting off, how to make simple quilling paper coils!

First thing's first: to make quilling coils you need paper, a little glue and something to roll your paper around, called a quilling tool.

There are two common types of quilling tools, a needle tool and a slotted tool. There are pros and cons to each, and each quiller has a preference. For more info, check out my post on which quilling tool is right for you. You could even use a large sewing needle, a wooden skewer or a toothpick in a pinch!

Quilling paper is sold in packs of long strips and come in an amazing rainbow of colors. Some even have sparkles!

When you're ready to start quilling, tear the length of quilling paper that you need from your strip. The length of your strip will indicate how large your coil ends up. If you're following a pattern or tutorial, you may be provided with the lengths of paper to use per coil.

But once you've gotten some practice, you can start to remember just how much paper you'll need to use.

It's also helpful to tear the ends off your strips before rolling. Torn edges adhere smoother with glue than cut edges.

To roll a coil around a needle tool, lay the end on your index finger of one hand while holding the tool in the other.

Use your thumb and index finger to roll the paper strip around the needle tool, while holding your tool still.

Roll the paper all the way to the end of your strip, and you've got yourself a coil!

When you've finished rolling, carefully remove the coil from the tool, holding it in a way that it won't unroll.

Lightly glue the end the rest of the coil.

Coils that aren't allowed to unroll are called tight coils.

Tight coils can be made in any size, and are often the base for 3-dimensional quilling work, like these quilling paper acorns.

Tight coils can be formed into other shapes, as well.

Squeeze one side, and you've made a tiny teardrop. I used that technique when I made my daffodil petals!

Most quilling work has its basis in various shapes made from loose coils.

To make loose coils (also called open coils), roll the paper in the same way you roll tight coils.

And just to show the difference, I'm rolling this coil with a slotted tool. Many quillers find this tool a little simpler to use, especially in the beginning days.

Insert one end of your paper strip into the slot on the end of the tool. This will hold the strip in place.

Next, turn the tool to roll the strip, as opposed to the needle tool, where you rolled the paper.

I apologize for the funky glue dots all over my tool! Yikes!

When you reach the end of the strip, pull it off the slotted tool.

If you release the coil and place it on a flat surface, it will start to unravel a bit and open up. That's your loose coil!

Add a tiny spot of glue to the end and attach that to the rest of the coil.

Notice the slight kink in the center of the loose coil that was made on the slotted tool.

That comes from the slit in the metal end that holds the paper strip.

If that bothers you, try practicing on a needle tool for a while!

One more way to roll quilling paper strips is into ring coils.

Ring coils are molded around larger forms, like the handle of a tool or a pen. There are also specialty molds and tools that have bigger diameters for really large circles. I've even used glass jars!

Simply roll your strip around your form, adding a little glue to the beginning end to keep it still. You may like to add a little glue on the entire strip as you roll it around, but all that extra glue might make it a little too stiff once dry. It all depends on your needs.

Be sure to glue the end before removing the ring coil from your mold.

Ring coils can also be formed into shapes.

Pinch one end, and you have a unique leaf! I've also used this shape for modern flower petals.

Whew! That's a lot of info that I just laid on you!

Don't forget to print your own quilling shapes printable to reference as you practice your coils.

And this is just the beginning! There is more to learn on your quilling journey.

After practicing your coils for a bit, check out the next posts in this series, all about creating teardrops and other shapes and making paper squares!

18+ tutorials to make paper rose, FREE templates, step by step

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
These are the collections of free tutorials and templates on how to make paper roses from different kind of paper. But you could definitely try with any kind of paper you have.

These paper rose tutorials are so easy and it's for beginners.

Paper rose from 1-size-petal template.

Video tutorial for 1 size petal template

I have seen so many people made this paper rose successful right at the first time.

Their tip is just opening the video and playing with replay/stop quite many times while imitating each step. So all you need is just a little bit of patience. 🙂

Step by step instruction of how to make paper rose from 1-size-petal

Paper rose tutorial, old version

Step 1: Cut the petals with the free template.

You can choose any color paper you want, I made some with printer paper 80gsm (21lbs). But I found that paper from 120 gsm (32 lbs) to 160gsm works better for this rose.

On each flower, we will need 4 pink 5-petal- layers and 1 green sepal. The free template is in both PDF and SVG files now.

Step 2: Form the curves of the petals

Use the edge of the scissor to curve the petal. Try to curl both sides of the petals.

Step 3: Assemble the petals

Glue the wire gauge #20 to the first layer. A small cool glue on the head of the wire will help to fix the stem with the flower.

Use your fingers and glue gun to attache the next layers accordingly. Please refer to video instruction for clearer view

Step 4: Finish the sepal, receptacle and the stem of paper rose.

Cut the sepal template on green paper color and glue at the bottom of the flower.

Then wrap a small strip of tissue paper to form the receptacle.
Use the green floral tape to wrap all the sepal and the stem.

I made 2 types of the rosebud. The first one will need 1 layer (5 petals) only.

And the second rosebud will need 2 layers (equals 10 petals)
Following the steps of making rose flower above to finish the buds

Step 6: Make the paper rose leaves

Cut the leaf with the template.
Then use my technique in the video to cut the edge of the leaf will help the leaf be more realistic

Use the head of the scissor to create the leaf's vein
Then glue the leaf with the wire gauge26 by white glue

After finishing the single leaves, arrange 5 leaves to make a rose branch.
You could find the tissue paper rose tutorial for my latest technique to make these rose leaves.

Paper rose from 2-size-petal template

I found that my previous version could be improved at many step, so that the roses are more beautiful and a beginner could success easier. I also updated the tutorial and template, please enjoy.

Paper rose updated version, more beautiful and easier to make.

Video of paper rose tutorial from 2-size-petal template

Step by step instruction of paper rose from 2-size-petal template

Paper rose tutorial, updated version

Step 1: Cut the templates

Wewill need 4 layers with 2 sizes for each rose flower. We will use the smaller size for the 1st and 4th layers, and the larger one for the 2nd and 3rd layers.

The template is nearly 4″ and the finished flower is 3.5″.

Step 2: Form the curves of the petals

Please use an awl tool to form the petals

Step 3: Assemble the petals

Folding the pentagon shape at the bottom of each layer will help the flower be in precise shape. It's important to see where I glue at each layer, and how to curl the petals that help the flower in natural forms.

Step 4: Make the sepal, receptacle and stem

Please see the tutorial here to see how to assemble the stem easier.

Step 5: Make the rose buds

The new rose bud is made from just one layer. It is just like the first layer of the flower.

The above paper rose I made from updated version template, just curl the 3rd and 4th layers in different direction. And that leaf template is the first one of the SVG file.

Paper Plant - A Bromelaid DIY tutorial | Handmade PaPer FloweRs by Maria Noble

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I have been thinking of creating paper bromelaids for a long time since I thought the Fire Flowers in my How to Make 100 Paper Flowers book closely resembled a bromelaid... In case you don't know what a bromeliad is, it's those plant you see at supermarkets for gifting,they trap water in their leaves.

A very hardy plant the epiphytic vriesea bromeliads are native to Central and South America. They are prized for their interesting and brightly colored flat (swordlike) flowers. They do well as indoor plants in shady conditions, and they can be kept outdoors as long as they are kept warm in shadier balcony gardens. Here is one version of my bromelaids,I am hoping to do more versions of them in the near future and a DIY to create them.If you are the type of person have a "black thumb" :-) these are for you..They won't wilt even if you dont water them.

They are a gentle tweak on the fire flowers from the book.Templates are also in the book.I would love to hear your comments so do leave your suggestions or comments below!
Be sure to sign up the $50 paper giveaway and a signed book from me ending Sept 30th,2016.

Using the fire flower template in the book cut out the petals for the bromelaid trimming off some edges for the top petals to make it smaller.You would need around 15 for each flower.Fold down the middle.

Overlap 2 smallest petal on top adding glue to stay in place, insert skewer.

Form more petals adding petal downwards tilting petals to open out flower.At the bottom trim petal to slimmer versions,stick to cover stem.

Cut a long leaf pattern from the book using cardstock

Curl leaf using blade of scissors running down the leaf halfway.

Step 10
Glue a small stem wire to enable you to pot the leaves

I hope you all had a great weekend!

It was quiet around these parts as we enjoyed watching the closing
ceremonies of the Olympics in Russia. Did you have a chance to catch any of it?
I truly enjoy watching the world come together. All those young athletes, though
from completely different parts of the world coming together for one purpose.

Last week I shared these paper succulents
and as promised, here is the tutorial. 🙂

1. Mix white paint with the greens, making various shades, some darker and some lighter.

2. Apply paints onto both sides of the paper, making sure the various shades of greens are visible; allow paper to dry.

3. Print template provided and cut the various sizes as indicated on template.

4. Cut a rectangle shape out of the paper, roll and secure end with hot glue.

5. Glue larger petals towards the bottom.

6. Continue to glue petals (larger to smaller) working towards the top, making sure you leave a visible stem in between each layer of petals.

7. Add additional shading if needed. I added a very light outline of purple to make it more realistic.

Note: Study photos of real succulents and play around with the various shadings and purple tones that you naturally find in succulents.

click on photo to enlarge; right click, save and print

While making these, I wanted to learn more about the paper I was using,
because it looks and feels like the handmade paper you make with a blender.
So I inquired and was thrilled to discover the paper is in fact made by hand in
a small village in India, where every time Canvas Corp purchases the product,
they are helping the families of these people. That made my heart smile.

I know these look fairly real in photos,
but believe they look even better in person.

I love how easy these were to make and that you
could place them in a frame or wreath and not have
to worry about mess or having to water them.

I hope you enjoyed the little tutorial.
Feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Mini Matisse: Directions for Magazine Bowls

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I have been asked a couple of times with my last post about the 'how to's' of this Magazine Bowl. This is by no means my idea, I have seen it all over the internet for years. This is the way I teach this process.

I cut several pieces of magazine the same with. For my students I have several National Geographics. This way they are all the same size. Being uniformed is key.

Open the page up from the first fold. Fold the paper into the center fold on both sides. Then fold it back on it's original fold. (I know... could I write fold one more time?)

Anyway, do this several times to several sheets. I gave the kids one day to do this. I was also finishing up some other projects at the same time. This is a project you can do while having another project going on at the same time. When I have them all like this I ask students to write their name on a name tag that I provide (maybe a uniformed color and shape) and place a rubber band around the pile.

Start rolling with one sheet. This is the most difficult task of the whole project. You MUST get it really tight!!!!

At the end of the roll use a small amount of tape. I have used both masking tape and scotch tape. Both work fine.

Use another piece of tape for the next coil. I tape it right where I left off. This part is important... ALWAYS tape at the end and a the beginning of every coil. Students will try to tape all the coils together and wrap them all at once. This looks like it works until you start pulling it up into a bowl, then it falls apart.

Continue with your rolling the coils. When/if students run out of coils, I ask them to make more. I give the goal of 6 inch diameter. It really pushes them and about 10% meet this goal. That is the great thing about this project. Once can be successful no matter how big the bowl ends up.

At the end of each day I have them write their name on the outside of the 'puck' (I call it a puck because it reminds me of a hockey puck).

The last step I didn't take pictures. Here I am pulling the bowl up. I had a Mod Podge table where students would paint the outside of their bowls with it. I was sure to have the table covered because it leaves quite a mess.

Students may want to take this home. Placing the puck and a magazine in a bag was a successful way to do so.

If the bowls are loose (about 10%) will be. When glazing the outside of the pot with Mod Podge, simple rest their paper bowls over a ceramic or Styrofoam bowl. This will give it the support it needs until the glue is dry.

Please, if you have other hint on how to do this project, write in... Thanks!

Intro, Materials and Procedures...

This magazine bowl is made from old magazine pages that are folded and wrapped around each other to form a round bowl. It's an easy project for students in grade 4 to 8. The students need basic folding and cutting skills to make it.
Materials:
Magazines, clear scotch tape, glue stick, clear sealer spray
Step 1 - Preparing the Center
Using a magazine page that has been neatly cut out of the magazine, fold it in half, lengthwise.

Then open it again. Fold the outer edges to the inside fold. This is the first fold. This will be folded to the inside 2 more times. The width of the paper will be approx. ½ inch.

Using this strip, fold it in half from top to bottom. Use the glue stick to glue the inside folds so that it holds together. Roll this strip up tightly. Use tape to hold it together. This forms the center of the bowl.
Step 2 - Folding the paper
Using the same size of magazine pages. Fold as in step 1. Fold in half lengthwise. Open it again. Fold the outer edges to the inside fold. This is the first fold. Fold the outer edges to the inside edges again. Fold the edges to the inside a third time.

Tape this strip to the center roll of paper. Wrap this strip tightly around the first roll. Tape the end of this strip to the roll.

Step by Step Photos

Continue making strips of paper using the folding method in step 2. Continue taping the end of the strips to the roll, wrapping it tightly around the roll, then taping the end again. Continue wrapping until the roll measures approx. 25 cm across.

Gently pull up the bowl until a bowl shape is formed. Or you can shape the bowl over another bowl and gently pull up the strips so that a bowl shape is formed. This bowl can now be sprayed with a clear polyurethane or clear varnish sealer spray to make it shiny and protect it.
Step 3 - Wrapping the Paper Strips
Steps to Completion
Step 4 - Shaping the Bowl
Hints and Tips

Use National Geographic magazine pages with colorful side on the outside to create a more colorful bowl.

Make the folds tight by folding against the table surface. Help students to fold neatly to center line and roll tightly when taping it together.

Use a glue that dries clear to help hold the bowl together when it has been shaped into the bowl shape. Magazine pages are slippery and as spiral gets larger, it gets harder to keep together.

Use the lesson to teach students the benefits of recycling. Ask them how the project may help the environment by recycling or re-using paper in a new way. Demonstrate paper recycling when doing this project by recycling pages of the magazines that are not cut straight or needed.

Use the lesson to teach about how paper is made. Create bowls from other types of glossy paper or other types of paper such as old calendars to be used "time and time again".

Use the lesson to demonstrate or display other cultures that create art and crafts from recycled materials. Some of this art may be sold in stores or online. Discuss what fair market value or fair trade is. An example of a website for recycled art from other cultures may be found at: www.tenthousandvillages.ca. Vietnamese artisans make a recycled paper square bowl to provide work for poor and marginalized groups in Vietnam.

This easy recycling art project is versatile to create the size of bowl you need. Students will find it easy to create a useful and beautiful art from recycled materials found in the classroom.

This post is part of the series: Recycled Art Projects - Creating Beauty from Recycled Materials

This series will be about easy to create art and crafts from recycled materials. Each project will use recycled materials in a new way. Kids will learn easy art projects to create robots, shoes, purses, and bowls from recycled material.

Paper Cut Winter Village for your Holiday Decorations

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Simple Christmas Decoration!

This simple winter village decoration is so easy to make if you have a personal cutting machine. It can also be cut by hand if you have a steady arm and some patience! You all loved our Halloween paper cut village so we knew we had to out do ourselves and design a winter village for the holiday season. We took it one step further this time around and created a design that is not only one layer of paper but three. This winter village has a mountain scape in the background with little village houses, clock towers, light poles and trees in the front two layers. The cut also features a bridge and deer, a rabbit and fox. These are a perfect match for the gorgeous paper cut lanterns.

Tools & Materials for your Winter Village

Steps

1. Cut out along solid lines using a detail knife.

2. Score along the dotted lines using a scoring tool and ruler.

3. Glue the pieces together where indicated. There are 3 pieces per each of the 3 layers.

4. Fold along the score lines, alternating between mountain and valley folds (like an accordion).

5. Place the 3 layers one in front of the other for display, with the shortest layer in front and the mountains in the back.

Making and Storing

I love this style of decor because it works well as winter decor from Fall through January. If you store it carefully, it will be a perfect winter decoration for many years to come. Though we did cut our village on our Cricut Explore, you can use the SVG files for any cutting machine. For this village an 8.5×11 white card stock works well. For those of you who like to hand cut, we are also offering the printable template. Just use the buttons below to download.

DIY Paper Christmas Cactus - The House That Lars Built

DIY Paper Christmas Cactus - The House That Lars Built

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Zygocactus, more widely and affectionately known as the Christmas cactus, is a bit wild and wonderful with it's curvy jaunty stems. It's a great alternative gift idea for the holidays with its vibrant red and green! Not surprisingly, the Zygocactus blooms around Christmas time with large red, pink, or orange flowers. Not always so easy to care for or if you're like me, December 25th comes and goes and it never blooms... errr, not to worry though! The crafted version is here! A DIY paper Christmas Cactus! The Christmas cactus easily translates into paper, especially if you have a paper cutting machine. Give the gift that doesn't require a green thumb! This is pretty quick to craft and you can easily make a simple smaller version with only two or three stems. How fun is this paper plant as a party favor or place card at your holiday get together? I love the quirky nature of it-It certainly lives up to its name!

Isn't he so fun and spunky! As a larger version, the DIY paper Christmas cactus is a real eye catching statement piece and I am going to keep mine on my kitchen table all winter!

Make the flowers for your cactus! You can make one for each stem, or apply them more sparingly and just add a few to your plant. First, cut a piece of tissue paper approximately 2.5" x 10". Next, fold it in half and in half again, keep folding until your tissue paper is about ½" wide. Cut one end to a point. Step 1:

Apply a line of glue stick along the straight edge of the tissue and begin to wrap around one end of your wire. You'll be pinching and lightly folding as you go to achieve a more dimensional flower shape. Finish it off by applying a length of corsage tape. Step 2: Step 3:
Cut your cactus stems (either with your craft cutter or by tracing and cutting by hand). You'll need 2 matching paper cut outs for each stem. Apply a heavy layer of glue stick and place the wire directly in the center. Apply a layer of glue to the other piece and carefully sandwich the wire in between, making sure the sides line up.

Next, use your bone folder (old credit card also works) to burnish around the edges of the wire. You'll want to do this while the glue is still wet. Press around the wire on both sides, making sure it's secure. Set aside to dry. Step 4:

While your stems are drying, you can prep your pot! Cut a piece of foam to fit inside (about 1" from the top) and use the masking tape to hold it in place. Cover the foam with gravel or sand. Step 5:

Start assembling your plant! You can bend the wire to give it some personality! Step 6:

Bonus idea: Add a paper flag with your pal's name to turn this little guy into a party favor or place card! They would look great marching down your holiday table!

DIY Flower Tiara- Coffee Filter Flower Headbands - The Kitchen Table Classroom

DIY Flower Tiara- Coffee Filter Flower Headbands - The Kitchen Table Classroom

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
This DIY flower headband is so pretty you won't believe how simple it is to make. Super basic household materials come together to create these swoon worthy flower crowns. These flower crowns would add so much fun to imaginative play, a costume, or make a little person feel special anyday!

Materials to make sweet flower tiaras...

You will need white coffee filters. These are the cheap, bleached coffee filters. You'll need washable markers and a spray bottle full of water to create the coffee filter flowers.

Then to turn the flowers into a flower crown you'll want to add card stock, a hole punch, and tape. Ribbon is optional here. You can use the ribbon to finish your flower headband or use additional cardstock. Use what you have!

How to make flowers for your flower crown....

Start with plain white coffee filters. I like to color them while they're in a stack of three so you have enough coffee filters in the same color family to create a single flower. Stack three coffee filters and fold into quarters. Trim away an inch or so off the rounded edge. This step doesn't need to be precise at all. It just serves to make the flowers small enough that they work on the flower headband. Each flower you make can be a little bigger or smaller than the previous one. Variety is good!

Add color with simple dots, dashes, and lines of washable marker. I like to make a line then flip the folded coffee filter over and repeat the same line on the other side. Because the folded filter is now several layers thick having color on both sides allows the color to be consistent through all the layers.

Spray with water on both sides and watch the color spread. This part is mesmerizing. The colors are still bright but begin to run together and spread.

Have patience....

Set the colorful coffee filters aside to dry overnight or at least for a few hours. Before we add them to the flower headband we're going to cut in some petal shapes. Doing this to a slightly damp coffee filter is a disaster and results in tearing. (Ask me how I know!)

When the coffee filters are completely dry snip some basic petal shapes out if each bundle before opening them. These can be super simple shapes. Snipping away small triangles results in a basic petal shape.

Open the folded filters up. I like to separate the three layers and rotate each layer a bit. This spreads out the color and the petals to make the flower look fuller. Pinch the center of the flower and twist all three layers, bringing the bottom of the flower into a point. DO this to each flower and set aside for the making of the flower tiara.

I used about five flowers for each DIY flower headband but you can use more or less depending on the size of the flower and the size of the child wearing the flower headband.

Creating the actual headband for the DIY flower headband...

The headband portion of these flower headbands is so simple. We simply used a piece of tagboard about two inches tall and six inches long. I wanted it to be small enough that the paper foundation disappeared behind the beautiful flower portion of the crown.

Use a paper punch to create a hole for each flower. Poke the center of each flower through a hole and secure on the back with tape. We used clear packing tape because it's so much stronger than the tape used for gift wrapping.

Punch a hole on each end the flower crown and attach ribbon to tie around the head. This step is optional. If you don't have ribbon you could certainly add an extended piece of tag board to continue the flower headband, no ribbon required. I like the look of the ribbon. The sheer green ribbon adds a pop of color and suggests the leaves and greenery of real flowers! The tag base disappears behind the flowers. The ribbon gets lost in hair and all that shines through is the beautiful flower headband!

Check out this quick video tutorial for making your own flower crowns...

If your family likes video learning be sure to check out the full video tutorial in this directed drawing flower video and this symmetrical name creature drawing! They're free, right in the posts. Just click and your kiddos can watch and draw!

And if you still want more video instruction check out my Artists and the Elements digital art course for a whole year's worth of art class!

Wearing your flower headband...

The colors in these flower headbands go from the bright colors of washable markers to more muted, beautiful colors really seen in nature. I can just imagine little people wearing these for a day of playing dress up or even a special day like a wedding. They are that pretty!

If you liked these flower tiaras I know you'll want to see this post! I go through the creation of the coffee filter flowers that make up these DIY flower headbands a little more in depth and link to my most favorite coffee filter crafts out there. Coffee filters are so inexpensive and the fact that they are so absorbent makes them a perfect art supply for kids!

The great thing about paper flower crafts, is that with a little bit of resourcefulness and creativity, you can incorporate them into your wedding day for free, using newspaper, vintage books, paper bags, and scrap paper. You can also use things like buttons or pieces from old jewelry to add a little pizzaz.

I've never been a huge fan of paper flower centerpieces, but after being inspired by some of these paper flower patterns, I've taken a liking to them! You can even mix them in with your fresh flowers to add a splash of color and texture. I especially like the large, dramatic paper flower balls. They look stunning hanging over this dessert table.

Even just a single paper flower in small glass jars or paper flower bouquets look delicate - perfect to add to your table centerpieces for the reception. For a bridal bouquet, I also like the idea of mixing fresh and paper flowers, especially if you are having a more casual, fun, or vintage themed wedding.

Paper really is a fascinating medium, and book art has been popping up all over the place lately. The 2008 Holland Paper Biennial coming up later this month at Museum Rijswijk, where 27 international paper artists will be showing their work, so I thought I'd share some paper art I've come across lately, in the form of repurposed vintage books.

The beautiful folded books above and below, recently featured by Apartment Therapy, are from one of the inspirational window displays at Anthropologie.

Food and Interior Stylist, Paul Lowe of Sweet Paul has been styling a series called "The Written Word". The paper sculpture vases and the picture holder in the pics below show some of Paul's creativity.

These delicate decorations are some of Michael Bom's handiwork too!

The folded church book below is made by French artist, Lucille Moroni , who participated in the Paper Biennial in 2006. She first saw a book with folded pages in a shop window in Lyons, and knew at once that this was something for her. Now she works with 19th century church books and missals, taking care to fold the pages to correspond with the contours of the gilded decorations on the pages.

The Lehman Maupin Gallery features Italian artist Stefano Arienti. He lives in Milan, where he works with found images and printed materials. His 'Sliced Books' are surprising and fun!

Jesse of Jezzeblog recently featured the work of South African artist Rickus Ferreira . He took the pages out of the book before folding these delightful pigs!

I was inspired enough by all this paper folding to try it out myself, and I made this side table from folded magazines.

I've written up a tutorial on my blog, explaining how to make this side table with your own collection of magazines, so do pop over to see. And who knows, perhaps the dusty paperback novels on your bookshelf might just be ready for their Second Debut!
