It's getting to be that time of year again when we will be painting the chairs for the front porch and various other little projects which might be a little messy.
Here is a great idea to help keep the clothes clean and reuse and recycle newspaper.
Newspaper Apron
Materials:
Newspaper
Sticky tape
String
Scissors
Method:
* When your newspaper apron gets dirty (as all aprons eventually do), throw it away and make a new one.
* Put three sheets of newspaper together.
* Fold in half the long way and cut an arc from the outer corner at the top, as shown.
* Open. Fold the top edges down about 1 inch(2.5cm).
* Center a piece of string (about 20 inches (50cm) long inside the fold and tape the fold closed. Tie the ends of the yarn together so that the loop slips easily over your head.
* Punch a hole on each side at the waist. Through the holes put strings long enough to tie around your waist. To keep the strings firmly in place, tape over at the holes.

But that is an interesting thought! Could explain some of the burning paper in the woodstove, too.
