The toilet roll is now called to a higher porpouse!

Do you think toilet paper rolls should be thrown away?

Think twice!

I am focusing on recycling more and more not only

because is something I hear about everywhere but

because I choose to listen!  I am convinced that we have to

change our consciousness about what we do and change to a 

better way to live and recycling is giving us that chance, 

do you want to join?  It`s also fun!

In Mexico, we are taught to reuse since little in kindergarten

and it was fun to use this as a toy and doing this now reminded 

me of those days were my mind was pure and just had fun with it.

I started to collect this and figure about what should I 

do with them, many things can be done and I like how 

recycling pushes me to stretch out my creativity so here 

I share this idea in the hope to inspire you!

Cut the cardboard in the part of the line so the other 

side is cleaner, with no line in the middle...

Wet it so it loses the shape but be fast or you will loose

 the glue and then it will break into pieces, just enough to make it flat!
Update!
I am now using a spray bottle with water and this seems to work better!
I don´t sink it in the water for this makes the paper brake, so just
sprinkle and iron or use some heavy books to put on top all night long.

But you can do this too if you want, experiment and find
your own way to do things! ;)

Put them in a flat surface to dry and let them out in the 

sunlight...

I`ve also tried to iron some of them so it`s faster...

now I have some pieces to work with in different projects!

I`ve added some medium to attach a vintage book page,

this can also be done with some white glue!

Just rapped it like a present... 

Then added a second page to cover that...

Cut the excess...

They look so cool to me! :D

How about making an art journal, or make smaller pieces

and make some ATC`s to trade with your friends or some

personal unique bookmarks?

I  used them to paint!

Some close-ups to inspire you! 

Again I am using watercolors, remember I told you

about a fun project I was creating?

Well, here it is! Some have paintings on both sides!

She`s my favorite!

These flowers are inspired in the beautiful work of Martha Leaver!

Take us to fly a sweet journey and let us touch 

your wonders dear bird of life.

Challenge your self to create out of something you usually

throw,  everyone has that responsibility if they choose to,

 let us try and make the world better as we found it for this won`t

be for our selves but for everyone!  :D

Let me know what you think!
