That's exactly what I'd do. That's what I do with most of the 8x11 paper in this house. Would probably want to use at least 4 pages though, cuz they're so thin!

And then there's the mulch thing.

How do you make pots out of paper?

Thanks.

I tried it this way:

Newspaper Starter Pots

But those didn't hold together well enough for me.

So I searched around for an origami method. I use a modified version of this one:

Dollar Bill Gift Box

Thorsippi! Cool box! Want to make some! Your link does not work and I don't know how to make a link for dijoy! Dijoy; type in search for "newspaper pots" for this whole site, scroll down and you should find some good instructions. HTH. Ann

*scratches head* hm. Works for me. Very odd.

Link did't work last pm! Does now! Sorry to about that scalp condition!

I'd better go see how my chamomile plants are doing....

Hi
Telephone books are great for pressing flowers. The pages are usually a type of newsprint that is quite absorbant, and since they are usually large and thick, there's a lot of weight to help with the pressing.

Actually I ask for an extra phone book to keep in the car. Many times I need phone numbers or addresses while mobile. When the new phone books come out, then the older ones from last year get shredded into mulch or compost.

I saw a stack of old books turned into a planter in a book from the library yesterday. They also said you could do it wiht a telephone book. They cut out a rectangle and planted in it! Clamped it down first, then marked and drilled four corners, then cut it out. It wouldnt last long, though...
