Playing with paper — Fun and creative options for that stack in the corner

April 23, 2015 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Anyone who works with print understands how the paper can pile up. And here at the Northwest Asian Weekly and the Seattle Chinese Post, it definitely piles up. Although we are adamant about recycling, it’s fun to be creative and think about how you can use that paper instead of just immediately tossing it into the green bin. It can be used as gift wrap, lovely vases, collages, even fashion. Here are some fun and beautiful options. Hopefully that piece of paper can inspire you to create something after you read it.
