I thought I would combine my need for paper with encouraging primary school children to recycle. The plan is to install paper bins in the shape of dinosaurs - hence the papersaurus and use that paper with the children as well as on other projects. At the moment I'm still in the process of building the first paper bin.
As it will involve multiple small children 'feeding' it paper it needs to be strong and counterweighted so it's taking a while for each layer to dry. I aimed to have the first one built a while ago but keep being distracted by other projects!
In the photo it's propped up on a glue bottle with its legs tied together whilst they dry. I'd swear I don't have the patience for this if I hadn't completed hundreds of other papier mache projects before I started on Paper Reloved!
If the whole paper bin plan falls through it will make an awesome toy box for my youngest nephew.
