Recycled handmade project 1 and a lovely example of traditional work

Place mat with woven newspaper sheets (lengthwise) and a pasted magazine cover  photos  for added kitsch. I folded the edges around the opposite side and pasted them with  home-made maida flour glue. ( remember news print is poisonous so don't use around children who may eat spilled food off it)

Alternately use it as a temporary knee mat for gardening.
