Magazine Roll-up Crafts

[@olderendirt]

I have one sitting here by my computer that my grandmother and I made over 40 years ago using a similar method. We used a soup can and filed the rough edge where the top lid had been removed. We used a knitting needle the same diameter as the vinyl clothesline to make tubes, attached them, and sprayed them with polyurethane. The clothesline insets are made like yours except there is only one in each. They're inserted to overlap every other one like yours does. Fun project! Thanks for sharing!

[@krispereira1242]

I made these for gifts when I was in nursing school back in the 70's. I made trashcans, The only mistake I made was not making one for myself. Glad I saw your video! Making one for me now, a few years late. lol Thanks for the great video!

[@prncfrk]

Awwwww thanks for the wonderful memory. My dad and I use to make these when I was a little girl back in the 70's for Senior Centers. Not that they are hard to make but they're much easier to make now. In the 70's we didn't have glue sticks or the hot glue gun we used bottles of Elmer's. What a great way to recycle my old Martha magazines. Thanks :o)

[@OJoyBaby]

I remember my grandmother, who was a consummate crafter, making the trash cans and teaching her grandkids -- much like your memory. They were identical to yours with the plastic clothes line, though not as fancy as yours. I never forgot how to make and recently making them again. I like to spray paint mine either with color or clear. I had one that lasted about 20 years and survived a couple moves.

[@trishfitzpatrick2066]

At last! A well produced video! Good project, well explained, appropriately filmed, in an attractive environment, and NO distractions. A joy to watch. YAY!!

[@PattieWackDesigns]

I wish you were an aunt. I'd craft with you all day any day when I wasnt working

[@normajohnston1593]

Love the roses! They're very pretty. I think I'll try those. Looks like fun!

[@misskitty7255]

oh my goodness i am not going to be bored on the weekends and holidays making these!

[@QuirkyGirl10]

Love the way you finished off the top and bottom edges with the pipe cleaners.

[@melchorapablo6800]

i"m starting to make things,w/ magazine.and i"m enjoying it.thanks for showing your tutorials.hope to learn more.

[@susangrosan325]

Thanks for the inspiration! I found a long and low cardboard box and used it to make a planter. I get so many compliments on it at work. So colorful and cheery. I lined it with a plastic bag and put a coat of mod podge on the outside to seal it. I watched a few movies while rolling all the pages. :0)

[@pachambers]

Thanks for sharing your wonderful crafts ideas. I always have magazines I throw away. Now, I can use some of them for cute projects. I like the idea too because I can make things after the holiday as well. Plus, using the magazines help me recycle and affordable.

[@scredbird]

You are one smart lady! So pretty, but so simple to do! Thank you so much!!

[@iannaomivause6474]

Incredible what you can do with used magazines. Looks really cool and filmed so brilliantly and easy to follow clear instructions. The best video I have watched. Well done

[@groosemcloose]

Absolutley stunning. My teenage cousin has absolutley fallen in love with this idea!!! Thank you so much for this innovative and inexpesive tutorial!!!! No doubt I will try this :)

[@aliennetwork3751]

I really love this idea. I have so many magazines...I love them, this will be so cute and fun to make. Thanks for posting.

[@FrugalMummy]

I love things like this, might I suggest adding the words, upcycle/ recycle to your tags. T These would make great standby gift holders/ extra gift. for example, add stationary to a pencil holder or wastepaper sized one for a toddler, child or even teen. Add homemade easter goodies and a ribbon handle to make a reuseable basket, add samples of beauty products and homemade vouchers as a mothers day pamper pack... add baby products/ clothes for new arrivals, etc etc.

[@enabains9300]

thanks for the video! I'm gonna use this as a vase for art and then make some paper flowers.

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Ena, I love that idea!

[@ananyaroychowdhury7978]

BRAVO !!eres magnifica,me ha encantado tu manera de reciclar revistas y ademas el remate .Gracias por reir.Creo eres muy buena persona,solo que pasas mucho tiempo sola.Yo tambien,pero siempre estoy contenta.Un besazo desde España

[@amberxoxo4303]

This is the cutest woman ever haha! Love her crafts!

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Hi ChaceBowz, Sorry I'm just getting back to you but I've been staying busy at the Craft & Hobby Association trade show in Chicago. If I remember correctly I used a coffee can from Trader Joes for the larger project. The can is actually made of the same light cardboard as those Pillsbury Poppin' Fresh dough biscuits and crescent rolls but only bigger. Take a look at the chip/snack isle at your local grocery store-cheese puffs or another chip/snack like Pringles but bigger. Or go to Trader Joes.

[@Jennifr1966]

I need a can for serving utensils that must stay on the counter. This will be perfect! Most of my furniture is from the 1960s through 90s!

[@01sarah29]

My mom and I did this. It was easy and fun. Ended up being a 4-H project one year for the county fair.

[@RedSoxFan3591]

I remember yearsssss ago using the 5 gallon ice cream container, they make wonderful containers for papers/dry goods. I also hve been making some using old nautical maps and rope for the cording, I also have anchor charms that I hot clue on the front, looks so great in a nautical room.

[@MrCullen30]

You are very gentle . I like it that way. Love the ending,so peaceful. LOL thanks for sharing :)

[@ritagardnerritathemotivato4215]

Thanks for sharing this video Pattie. I am starting to craft again. I got the bug during the holidays while I was recovering from bronchitis and I was going stair crazy in the house. Thanks again.

[@PattieWack]

Rita, that is really fantastic for you to get the crafting bug. And they say it's a wonderful way to heal, mend and revigorate your creativity. Crafting is good for us!

[@tauraslady]

Looks great. This is what I call cool for kids to make.

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Thanks so much, Pearl! Thanks for watching :-)

[@madeitwithlove]

Thanks for this really great tutorial. I'm going to create some of these things with my great neice next holidays, she just seven years old and I know she loves making crafty stuff.

[@rencexxy08]

Awesome! i watched this yesterday and made one today. so pretty perfect for my room but instead of cutting off the ends at the top i just leave it that way. kinda cute, looks like sun rays

[@BernadettesGarden]

Love this idea! Always throwing out magazines and catalogs. Thanks for the inspiration, I am always looking for ways to re-purpose and recycle as I love to do lots of crafting myself.

[@Jennifr1966]

I don't get magazine subscriptions, but they still show up, so this is a great way to prevent more in the landfill. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@TeriToes]

I did a few with pencils and gave them to my Children teachers over the years :) Love the magazine idea going to have to give it a try

[@kreed111311]

I have gone crazy doing these lol :) love the look for makeup storage!

[@lindsaydennison5880]

Absolutely fabulous. Beautifully illustrated

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Aww, you're so sweet! Thank you so much, and thanks for watching!

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Hi everyone, Pattiewack here, thanks for subscribing to my craft video channel. I will be adding a bunch more videos in the coming months. My wonderful production partner (and husband) is going to start to upload a whole bunch of my old Aleene's Creative Living craft segments for your fun. It will be a fun trip down memory lane!

[@myrnagomez2668]

very good I have been saving some container I did not know what to do with great idea, also I was thinking to use them for Christmas to put extra forks on the tables when using paper plates thanks for sharing

[@winniekeedy2340]

I love this, and will try it with my friends, who are all in their 80s and 90s. I am sure we can do it. We do a lot of crafts. Thanks for the info.

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Winnie, I'm so glad you found me! Good luck with your projects. Happy crafting!

[@Elena-fu7jj]

I used an cappuccino tin can and it came out really cute! Thank you for the idea! I actually have many of them, I may do more!

[@lmckee7]

Love, love, love this!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

[@maplelassuk]

A fabulous idea! Thank you.

[@TheBena54]

I love the rolled paper idea

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Thanks Florence, I'll bet your project looks great. Keep crafting and...Have fun with it!

[@JoanAldis]

Loved the idea, brilliant thanks you are really crafty...must see you other crafts. Thanks very much

[@jessicaheeber2859]

Try rolling up the magazine pages with a long aluminum knitting needle. Unlike the pencil, the knitting needle shouldnt disappear, and the magazine easily slides off the metal. :-)

[@elmyra.jackson]

Jessica Heeber Thanks. I like your idea!

[@ValyTraveler]

Can't wait to see this on "Project Runway" as a fashion/lowbudget challenge...

[@chloeskygirl722]

I love it,I'm gonna make some for my baby's first Christmas decorations. Thanks

[@sheryleguinn4914]

You make things look sooo easy. Yes, u should have your own show. How about making baskets, and I made really big weaths out of the rolled paper for xmas cool project should put on utube...

[@musicismyhappiness1]

"That's what I call crafty." Well said, this looks amazing!

[@alysababey]

What a great idea! very pretty and creative

[@LindaPenney]

Awesome update thank you for sharing have a blessed day

[@CaitlinElizabeth37]

This is so awesome! I'm definitely going to do this for storage for makeup brushes and things like that. Props to you for the awesome idea. :)

[@Habbyworldcouk-em7fy]

Very nice and informative. I like the way you are saying what you do every step of the way. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@Jennifr1966]

My mother went to school in the 1930s, no bussing for her! She DID walk 5 miles to school, and sometimes in very high snow! 😂

[@denisehowell3526]

I remember my kids making these at Church ❤

[@brimac106]

I have a school art assignment using rolled up paper. I think this would be great.

[@PattieWackDesigns]

My husband and I are working on an online craft program with our business partner. We plan on going live with the show in 2013. It will be a lot of fun and gobs of crafts. You just can't rely on the networks to stay with anything when it comes to craft shows. Gotta "Do It Yourself"! :) Thank you for the nice comment.

[@DuctTapeSusie]

Thank you so much for this tutorial :) I mostly make crafts from Duct Tape and I love it, but I love to explore and try new things. This would make a great gift idea for the holidays!

[@woodenshoelane]

HEY MARTHA STEWART... You are about to be replaced! This sister is awesome!!! Thanks for the post

[@MrMkirk23]

Something about the way this vids made that puts me in a relaxing trance.

[@quratanam]

omg i thought i was the only one who felt tht... i keep watching it just to get relaxed

[@daisydlapka7704]

me too....her voice is relaxed and she is speaking without compelling the viewers :)

[@jenniferreeder5918]

My Chruch never did things like this we were a poor Church,thanks for teaching this its New to me..

[@brittanyMoore83]

Very neat idea, I will be using it for my after school program! thanks!

[@pinayatlove9]

I got addicted to doing this !

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Elena, I'm so happy that you enjoyed making this craft. I love-love this craft too. I'd love to see a video response showing off your projects! Thanks again for the comment.

[@aaedhahmed8758]

I liked the idea that the new things are made

[@mikeruban]

this was really helpful i actually kindoff hate craft but after seeig this iam inspired very easy ways and very very easy to grasp is it that people from Oklahoma are always inspiring

[@gailmorley4137]

Thats easy enough...really good idea for old magazines,..🚴

[@yvonnesharpe9869]

I did a few of these with the large juice cans. I made one this pass week with the coffee can to use as a remote container. there are so many of them. the paper I used on the coffee can is from calendars. they are stronger and very colorful. thanks.

[@punisurinder1391]

[@1huayna]

Really like this, have some good projects ahead.

[@traveln3]

very resourceful, thanks for the demonstration.

[@silvanadearimatheia6559]

Lindo!!! Gostei muito!!!Eu irei fazer!!! Obrigada!!! Obs:Por favor ao invés de colocar este tubinho plástico nas bordas posso colocar tipo cadarço ,cordāo ou outro material?! Obrigada!!!! Abraço!!!

[@moxygirl5806]

thats a great way to use up old magazines so do u just use a tin can or just any cup or bottle that will work

[@PurdyBear1]

I love it., I'm definitely going to try this one.

[@iiix3inlove]

@JonahGuerra I'm guessing no, because the pencil gives support to the magazine rolls and wont squish in. Ad because she rolled it diagonally, the magazine is lot longer than the pencil. Its wedged in. If shes gluing it in i dont think shes trying to get it out. Haha. But thats what i think :p

[@burgerlampost9434]

I have never thought of that! it is recycling too and keeps all my stuff tidy. Your shows are worth it to watch and should be on the Television. Do you have a website with all this in it?

[@luisarojas9271]

Hola, que precioso quedó esa decoración con papel eso es extraordinario muy lindo, tiene bastante importancia que el papel tenga colores, le quedó muy lindoooooooooooooo. Saludos desde Chile.

[@sarahconnolly8223]

You got carried away!!!! That is cool!!! How do you do the end??? The flowers are cute!!!!! GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PattieWack]

Hi Sarah, I really did get carried away. LOL You do the end by poking the last piece of clothesline behind the first one that you did. Thanks so much!

[@juliehuynh05]

wow nice at first i thought u use that much of pencil but when i kept watching it turninng aout amazing work and inexpensive too

[@PattieWackDesigns]

That is the plastic clothesline you can buy at most hardware and some dollar stores.

[@sairakhan146]

You are the best art teacher in the world

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Oh my goodness, Saira! What a nice compliment on my magazine roll-ups video. You're so nice!

[@sairakhan146]

THANKU

[@sharonmelody97]

What type of white cord is that? What a great idea!!!!

[@donnagalvin33]

love this thank you for sharing

[@jlatte4]

What a great idea, i am going to try this. Awesome!!

[@nicoletanner3183]

What a neat idea!

[@riffatyasmin2284]

unique idea..v beautiful

[@ivettecolon4936]

Amazing and beautiful. So nice thanks for sharing.

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Thanks Ivette! I'm so glad you like my magazine roll-ups video.

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Hi "whyhellutheree", just to clarify the video, you do not leave the pencil in the rolled up page. You make one rolled up tube and then slip the pencil out to make the next one. I hope that helps. :)

[@dorisampofowah4298]

So beautiful and thanks for sharing! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Try to make your own version by making one with all blue, orange, greeen, or whatever color matches your creative space.

[@breannaluera945]

Wow thank u so much and by any chance where did u get the pipe cleaner that had no wire in it?

[@joysmum54]

This would be a great craft for childrens craft club

[@HWolfe]

Great recycling idea!

[@Arlcam777333]

Since this is paper will it hold up good? Is there anything that can be put on the paper to make it more durable or waterproof? I like this idea.. I am going to try it. Now I have something to do with all my magazines that I wanted to throw away but just couldn't. lol

[@PattieWackDesigns]

I used a cardboard coffee bean container from a store called Trader Joes. There are many kinds of snack containers that have the same shape.

[@jennielynnschlageter6586]

Can u spray it after u r done? Thanks

[@HiDFoxx]

Yep, going to make this now.

[@issacsha2067]

I didnt even watch this video but looking at all the cments I say Hatss Off To You Mam #Outstanding

[@xbyemily]

So cute! Gonna try it right now! x

[@PattieWackDesigns]

Hi Emily, thanks for watching my crafty videos! I hope your magazine roll-up project turned out great!

[@melchorapablo6800]

[@judyobrien5443]

[@jimreevesgb]

[@moniklds]

Loved it! One question: For the finish, what else can I use if I can`t find the clothes line. What would be "smilar"?? Thank you so much for the idea and for sharing. Bless you :)
