DIY for Environmentalists: Crafting, Making, Project How-to's, and more!
Of course, if you’re really hardcore into bookmaking, then starting from the ground up might mean making your paper by hand. The beauty of this handmade paper tutorial by Wenona Napolitano is that you can incorporate recycled materials, from newspaper to used typing paper to anything that you can get your hands on, right into the paper itself. No to-do lists on old-growth forests for you!

Hi there! I'm Becky Striepe, a green crafter and vegan foodie living in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and two cats. My mission is to make eco-friendly crafts and vegan food accessible to anyone who wants to give them a go.
Hello! My name is Bonnie Getchell and overall, I'm a craft nerd! I love making crafts, re-doing furniture, and anything along those lines. I especially love creating items that are from recycled materials like toilet paper rolls, bottles, etc.
I'm the lucky momma of two little blonde daddy-clones--we spend our days doing elaborate art projects, trashing the house, eating cheese cubes and oranges, and waiting for my partner to get home from his day job so we can pester him.
