rolled newspaper

This is for the junior DT for which the theme was 
Something Recycled.

To do this wall hanging, first I cut strips of newspaper(all different sizes) and rolled them up and to hold them in place stuck them with glue and left them to dry.
While they were drying I made sure that I had a spare strip left over that was doubled up so I
could separate it at the top.
Then in length order laid them out going down. 
Starting from the top I glued them to each other.On the doubled over strip stick it together leaving folded over end. Carefully lifted the roll strip over onto the doubled over one and stuck it down.
At the top on the strip under the rolls twist the top carefully and tie a ribbon around at such a position that you can easily hang it up.
