Eco-friendly creations made of recycled paper can make quite stunning art. Generally, these environmentally-friendly creations are made with beautiful papers and colorful pulps, but the monochromatic simplicity of newspaper makes for wonderful works as well.
This cluster highlights some of the most unique pieces of artwork made from discarded newspaper, from handbags made of from newspaper baring headlines of Obama’s election, to seats made of discarded news stories.
Newspapers may be facing extinction, so if you want to make some art of your own, grab ‘em while you can.
