Following the economic crisis of 1997, there were many training programmes in a Bangkok park teaching people to take up alternative activities. One of these was making products from wastepaper. Housewives and other unemployed women, who live in a low income urban community in Bangkok picked up this skill and started making different kinds of products out of many types of discarded paper. A craft group was soon formed and more people learnt the craft, developing their skills further as they went. Sheets of waste paper are carefully rolled into tight rods and then glued and woven into fantastic and imaginative creations.

 

 

These pretty frames are made entirely from recycled newspaper. They are suitable for any 4" x 6" photograph that you insert by sliding in from the top edge. There is no glass or plastic window which makes mailing as a gift very easy and since the frames weigh only 125 grams postage is inexpensive also. All frames are a sturdy construction and securely stand in landscape or portrait position. Five patterns are available as pictured.

Being made from newspaper each frame is unique with cuttings of news stories of the day making them an interesting conversation piece and a terrific gift idea.To order or to make an enquiry visit the contact page.
