brainstorm the usage of old newspaper



Brainstorm of the usage of old newspapers


1.       Origami Sculptures


2.       Book Covers



3.       Packing Supplies

4.       Shape Keeper (Ensure that your shoes and bags keep their shape by stuffing them with crumpled newspaper after each use.)

7.       Make paper chains


8.       Use as a tablecloth

11.   Weed Blocker (if you have a garden and weeds are a problem, cover the bed with newspaper and water it to the saturation point. Once that’s done, cover the paper with organic matter, like compost or mulch. Eventually, the newspaper will smother the problematic weeds, and the organic matter will help your garden flourish)

12.   Picture Frames

13.   Fire Starter (If you’re going camping or starting a fire in a fireplace, however, it’s always good to have some newspaper on hand to give the fire an extra boost in case you can’t find kindling or the wood is a little damp)


14.   Ripen Fruits (if you want to speed up the ripening process, simply wrap individual pieces in newspaper so you can eat them sooner)

15.   Furniture

16.   Wrapping ‘nasi lemak’
