    hello ladies,
    I have tried upon several things out of waste. some of them which i find successful include paper coasters, photo frames and wall decors out of pista shells.
    Making of Paper coasters:
    take a news paper sheet, cut it and roll it.
    stick the ends and insert the ends of the rolls.
    fold accordingly and finally coat them with glue in order to strengthen them. let them dry and then start using the eco-friendly coasters made out of your newspaper wastes.

    Hi

    Thanks for conducting this contest which encourages me in thinking creative and make best out of waste. Will come up with few more later.
    Mobile phone stand out of expired credit cards and any other similar kind of thick cards. This is quite simple to make and easy to carry wherever we go.
    Things we need:
    1. Scissors
    2. any tape
    3. marker
    4. cards
    Instructions to do:
    1. Need to cut the card into half diagonally.

    2. Draw a curve line in the card.
    3. Cut it carefully and with the help of one cut card make a tracer for the other one. Now cut the other card too.

    4. In the middle paste the tape on both the sides and trim the edges. While pasting please give half an inch of space for easily movement, otherwise the card will be so stiff.

    5. Now based on the card height keep your phone in the standing or sleeping positions.

    Steps:
    1. Take a tetra pack open up the four side grip, cut half an inch at the top and bottom.
    2. Open it up and clean inside thoroughly.

    3. Now as given in the picture turn in backside and cut a 1/3 portion at the bottom fully.
    DSC03953.jpg
    4. Now compress the side walls of the pack as it looks in the beginning.
    5. Keep the pack facing backside and turn the first position from back so that the mouth cap should be seen in the front as given in the pic.

    6. Now make a hole in the bottom part with the help of mouth cap as a tracer.
    7. Finally stapler the middle portion combining the in between cards together.

    8. Thus we get a fashionable purse within few minutes.

    Hey thanks for your steps tutorial. Instead of placing muslin cloth can we place thin white plastic sheet. Another version of this. Boiling wheat paste with salt added in it. Taking a bowl and placing it with thin plastic sheet, and applying the wheat paste(as gum) and then sticking newspapers on it, and paper mache bowl is ready.

    Once again thanks for sharing it...
