Things to do with old paper

Old maps and old sheet music are great for making things.  The paper folds well and is always interesting to look at.

Here are some things I have been making:

Christmas Colour

Because I make things out of old books I always have bits of paper floating around on my desk. I am loath to part with things that could still be put to use and eventually I have come up with a way to use all the leftover bits of sheet music, atlas pages and other odd pieces of paper.

It involves quite a lot of folding and glueing, but the end result is a collection of cheerful pleated circles that can be hung up as decorations.

I will be bringing some along to my next market - Unwrapped in the City - on 9 December.
