Doing simple craft will let you practice your creativity. Using old and used materials is a big help to our environment to reduce wastes. Recycling waste materials gives so much benefits to us and to our mother earth. this is why I am always encouraging everyone to please recycle. Recycling is also a big help to our kids' school project so we can help them to them every time they have to make one. If you're a stage mom like me, I'm sure you're always searching and learning things to teach our kids so I hope this one will benefit moms like me.

| Tissue Holder made of recycled news paper |
Folding and Weaving Procedure:
- Forming the bottom using twisted news paper. Stick with glue. Folding four times will add strenght to the base of our tissue paper holder.
- Use a molder to form the shape of a tissue holder. You can't make a good shape without a pattern molder, so using a round shaped container is a must.
- Make a cover the same procedure as the body but leave a hole at the center. Cover is a bit larger than the body of the tissue paper holder.
- Coat with varnish for finishing.
