  1. you can sell them to the junk shops...


  2. I put them in the recyling bin, except for the ones I spread around my house when ever politicians and Hollywood celebrities come calling.  After they leave, I put these along with what my visitors left behind in the compost pile.

  3. recycle them duh!

  4. hi

      i love papper craft . i made many papper craft like ball ,pizzie ect. got 3 prize in craft comparison.

    i give 2ou will need:

        * Paint

        * Newspaper

        * Scissors

        * Sticky Tape

        * Tissue Paper or Kitchen Roll

        * Cardboard Box Card

        * PVA Glue

    Pick a letter to make. It might be the initial of your name, or favourite football team.

    Then take a look in books or magazines for different styles of fancy lettering.

    When you've decided which style you like best, draw out your chosen letter onto some cardboard box card.

    When you're happy with the design, carefully cut it out.

    Pad out one side of the letter by scrunching up sheets of newspaper into ball and sausage shapes.

    Stick the scrunched up newspaper balls and sausages o the cardboard letter using plenty of sticky tape, but make sure you can still see the outline of the letter.

    When done, you should have something that looks like this.

    Now mix up some PVA glue with equal parts water.

    Coat the letter with PVA glue, then add on pieces of tissue paper or kitchen roll.

    Try to paste the tissue paper or kitchen roll on as neatly as you can. Tuck the tissue underneath the letter, too.

    The idea is to cover the front of the letter in two layers of PVA glue and tissue paper or kitchen roll.

    When done, leave it to dry.

    Once it's dry, it will harden.

    Next, paint the letter using either poster or acrylic paint.

    It's a good idea to paint the whole thing black first.

    Then take some scrunched up tissue paper and dip it in some metallic paint.

    Dab off the excess, and then wipe the tissue over the letter.

    Cover the whole letter to give a great metallic effect, then allow it to dry.

    Your letter doesn't have to be huge - you can make them any size you like!

    Try it yourself! example

    papper art

    You will need:

        * Polystyrene Cup

        * Paper

        * Kitchen Roll Tubes

        * Sticky Tape

        * Loo Roll Tubes

        * PVA Glue

        * Tissue Paper or Kitchen Roll

    Take a polystyrene cup and tape it upside down onto a piece of A4 paper.

    Next, rip the whole of the bottom the of the polystyrene cup off using your fingers.

    Stuff an empty kitchen roll tube through the hole that you made in the polystyrene cup.

    Tape it in place.

    Then scrunch up some scrap paper into a paper ball and stuff it in the top of the tube to block it up.

    Again, tape it in place.

    Next, take three loo roll tubes and tape them into position so that they’re roughly half way above the kitchen roll tube.

    You should now have something that looks like this!

    To make the pointy tops of the castle towers, just take a piece of A4 size paper and start to roll it in from one corner.

    As you’re rolling it in turn to the right and it should roll itself into a paper cone.

    Then just tape it into position, so that it doesn’t unroll.

    Next cut it down to make sure its about the same height as the loo roll tube and that it’s wide enough to fit over the loo roll tube.

    Then simply pop on top, and do the same for the other towers.

    bye try this out

  5. recycle them. good for the tree/environment. we have recyclers that we can put them. If you don't have them contact your city and they will know what to do with them.

    You can make paper hats and air planes with them. good luck!

  6. You can take them to the recyclying center and recycle them and you will get some money.. Or if you don't want to do that, you can call the Boy Scouts and they will pick them up(for them to recycle and get the money). That's what I did, before..

  7. u can use the newspaper for laying it over the table as table cloth. u can cut important things from newspaper as u can grow your general knowledge.

  8. Recycle them.

  9. Party hats

  10. Yea, you can make a bag if you want to. But if you don't want to make anything with the newspapers, just take it to your local recylcing center and recycle it

  11. It could be surprising how tall a pile of newspapers get if you don't do something with them. So the best you can do is give them to a paper recycler. They have the machinery to handle the papers. Most industrial nations have worked out a paper handling process.
