DON'T TOSS JUNK AD MAIL, DO THIS INSTEAD! (RECYCLING IDEAS)

This is a quick and simple video talking about ways that I re-use junk ads. Every week my mailbox gets flooded with these annoying junk papers. It's a mix of grocery ads, coupons, and other random promotional stuff that honestly I have no interest in. 👎

Sometimes I feel bad about tossing all these papers directly in the recycle bin and I wanted to share with you some of the ways I use these papers before tossing them to recycle. ♻️

These papers come in two types of finishes; a newspaper type finish and a glossy finish. Did you know that the newspaper type is AMAZING for cleaning glass? I never use paper towels to clean my windows and mirrors anymore, I always use these. They work ten times better than normal paper towels too because they leave no streaks or lint, giving me a perfectly clean shine every time.

Another way I put these papers to use is by using them to protect my table whenever I'm doing a messy art or craft project. And the best thing about it is once I'm done I can throw em away for a super easy clean up. I use the glossy papers for this primarily as I find my wet paint projects don't stick to them as easily.

And lastly another great thing you can use these papers for is paper mache, type of craft using paper strips and paste to create 3D works of art. I haven't tried this technique since I was a kid so I'm super excited to play around with it and share what I make in an upcoming video.

I also want to mention that I receive way more of these junk papers each week than I can actually use so while I do throw about half away, I store the other half in a folder cuz they're rather ugly and I don't have any desire to look at them when they're not being used. 😝

If you try this technique out for cleaning glass, let me know how it worked for you! Or if you have other ideas for ways to recycle these papers I would LOVE to hear about it!
