In addition to the use of waste paper, additional materials such as dried flowers, confetti or natural dyes such as beetroot juice can be used. The white the waste paper used, the brighter the end product becomes. This art form not only promotes creativity, but also teaches how valuable recycling is.

  • a large tub
  • Little bucket
  • blender
  • towels
  • tea towels
  • noodle wood
  • optional: pressed leaves, flowers or old spices

To create the scoop yourself, an old wooden frame can be used on which a network is stretched on how fly grille or old tights. With these instructions, the basics of paper creation are manageable and easy to implement.

    Topping paper is not only a nice handicraft work, but also an excellent way to protect resources and reduce waste.

According to gruenatur.de offers upcycling of waste paper the opportunity to design creative objects from old newspapers, be it in the form of bastel projects or decorative elements.

In this context, projects such as creating bookmarks, baskets or even wall art are recommended, all of which can be made of recycled material.

    Overall, the paper scooping offers a perfect interplay of creative work and sustainable practice, which makes it an ideal activity for families and handicrafts.
