Have you ever looked at the plastic cap on top of your ice cream cone and thought: this could be useful? I did – and that tiny, often overlooked lid became the perfect mold for my paper pulp experiments. In this DIY, I’m showing you how to turn everyday waste into delicate cone-shaped forms ready for creative play. It’s a small project, but one that blends sustainability with artistic exploration. Sometimes, the best ideas really do come from the bin.

This project began with a need to use up leftovers — and a curiosity about what they could become. With no plan, no sketch, just paper pulp, dried plants, and a bit of coffee, I ended up creating a lampshade that feels more like a sculpture than a functional object. Delicate, irregular, built from simple elements that seemed to fall into place on their own. This post is a glimpse into that process — intuitive, slow, and incredibly satisfying.

This sample was born out of a need to experiment and a curiosity for materials. A simple craft mesh became a tool that brought order and rhythm to the soft structure of paper pulp. The process was simple, yet the result surprised me with its bold texture. The surface gained a pattern that seems to invite further transformation. It’s another step in my search for meaning through structure and touch.

Creating objects from paper pulp is a great way to repurpose old newspapers and give them a new life. This time, I decided to make drink coasters with a raw, stone-like texture, using baking beans to create the pattern. The process is simple, yet the final result looks unique and eye-catching. These coasters can be both a practical addition to any interior and an interesting handmade gift idea. In this post, I’ll show you step by step how to make them.

Experimenting with paper pulp texture is an endless journey full of surprises. This time, I used ceramic baking beans to see what kind of pattern they would leave on the surface. The result? A rhythmic, organic texture reminiscent of natural structures. It’s yet another proof that simple objects can inspire extraordinary projects.

Sometimes, the most interesting effects come from completely unexpected tools. In this experiment, I tested how a sushi mat could create a unique texture on paper pulp. A rhythmic pattern, raw texture, and a simple process— and the result? Surprisingly intriguing! It’s yet another proof that inspiration can be found in everyday objects. Check out how it turned out!

If you're looking for a simple yet impressive way to create your own tray, this project is perfect for you! Using cardboard, aluminum foil, and paper pulp, you can craft a unique decorative piece that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The process is straightforward and doesn’t require any special tools—just a bit of patience. First, we prepare the tray form using cardboard, then cover it with foil and apply a layer of paper pulp, which we smooth out and let dry. Once the top is dry, we work on the bottom to ensure the entire structure is stable and durable. This is a great way to enjoy a creative DIY project while giving new life to recycled paper!

Continuing the concrete frame project, I spent some time figuring out how to attach glass or plexiglass in a practical and aesthetic way. Instead of using nails or wires, I went with aluminum clips made from recycled cans. Simple, subtle, and surprisingly durable. Check out how easy it is to make them yourself!

These frames are my experiment with paper pulp pretending to be concrete – and it does a pretty good job! Cracks, chipped corners – all carefully planned (well, almost). I came up with two versions: one more like a "concrete block" and the other a bit lighter, but just as good. I found inspiration everywhere – from construction sites to old tenement buildings. And the result? I’ll let you decide! No mess, just a lot of satisfaction.

If you've ever dreamed of having a piece of the ocean, a volcano, or a fossil on your fridge – I've got something for you! In this post, I’ll show you how to make nature-inspired magnets that look like discoveries from the depths or the age of dinosaurs. The process is so simple that even the paper pulp would be proud of you! A bit of shaping, some detailing, a splash of paint – and you're done. It’s a great way to bring a touch of nature into your home.

Creating paper pulp on a larger scale is a fantastic way to dive into bigger DIY projects – from wall decorations to unique home accents. In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to make a large batch of pulp using simple materials and a few clever tricks. The process is straightforward, and the results can be truly surprising. Making your own pulp is also a great way to recycle old newspapers and give them new life in creative projects. Grab some paper, water, and a blender – let’s get started!

In today’s post, I’ll introduce the technique of creating raw forms from paper pulp – a method that brings out a unique, organic texture inspired by nature. Using everyday newspapers and PVA glue, I’ll show you how to prepare a smooth pulp, control thickness, and refine details to give each form its own individual character. It’s a simple yet demanding technique that fits perfectly into the aesthetic of natural, minimalist DIY projects.
