Beautiful DIY Ideas For Old Newspapers

                This is a family project that you can do together and frame it up. Got the idea from watching art attack. Its either you have it as a family project made from scratch or you can actually buy the items made with plaster of paris powder. For this topic, its for recycle newspapers. Following are the instructions (own visualization needed, sorry bout that) ;

1. Tear the old and unwanted newspaper into small pieces and soak it overnight in a bucket of water. The quantity of torn newspaper will determine the size of your cast.
2. After a day soaking, the water is then filtered out and the remaining soaked newspaper are blended until it becomes sort of muddy. Better if you have a special blender for artwork.
3. The blended newpaper is then added with artwork glue so that it will be moist a but and easily to form out the shape intended. 
4.  Form the shape intended. Here, i had made it into a medium layer flat plate, press your family hand print all together and then have it dried out in the sun. It will become hard as a rock when dried.
5. Paint as you like. We had bought copper color paint to make it look 'expensive'
6. This is the end result...
