Read All About It! - Newsprint Table Runner

Pin It


I have to admit it, today's post was yesterday's news even before I wrote it.  I know that some of you will probably even feel like you've read it before.

As I was considering

  or not to even write it,
I thought to myself,  !What the heck. You're all good

", Right!?

Sure. Why not!? I started folding 


and weaving

 And before I knew it




Sometimes I just can't help myself.  Now all that's missing is a couple of live Maine Lobsters, a few clams, some corn on the cob and new red potatoes and we'll be good to go.  I guess that a trip to the fish monger is in order! But before I go, I'd like to leave you with just two more words on this topic:



The other good news?! When we're finished, it can still be recycled!

Kimberly

    1. Hi Wendy, The letters were actually done using Magnetic Poetry Big Letter Stamps Lower Case made by Words and Crafts. I picked them up at a home sale a couple of years ago from someone who was getting rid of all of their craft supplies. I checked this morning and Amazon has them. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000WWK4EI/newcodeaz-20 Hope this helps.

  6. Seriously???? Is this what you do while you chat to me? Craft amazing things out of newspaper? How does your brain work? A true trash to treasure.

  7. Wow, this is great. Would not have ever thought to do that as probably most others have not either. Came over from Kari's at Thistlewood Farms. Would love for you to share your creativity some time at my Wow Us Wednesdays party.

  8. Kimberly--This is a great idea--I love that it uses recycled materials in such a pretty way. The red napkins really help pull the tablescape together nicely as well. Thank you for sharing this with us!
