Why waste something that matters to you? Why easily throw something that once has value to you? And why not give chance to make something better? That’s right, from newspapers, love letters, to gift wrappers, paper is still everywhere and most of it are ending up in our landfills which creates an enormous amount of paper waste.

Producing a paper doubles the energy used to create plastic bags because it involves cutting down of trees in which without discipline leads to deforestation. Deforestation is one of the main environmental problems we’re facing in these times. 42% of all global wood harvest is used to make paper. Is it really worth it to cut down our life saving trees for this product?

Paper pollution is another effect of paper waste and it’s a serious problem. It is estimated that by 2020, paper mills will be producing 500,000,000 tons of paper and paperboard each year. Since we badly need papers in our daily lives, reducing this product is in the least on our list of options.

And speaking of options, we can still turn something unusable to something useful by means of Do It Yourself crafts. Do It Yourself crafts is another form of recycling which involves art and creativity.

Since it's the season of love, couples, and hearts, our VLog showcases something in trend and might save your wallet. As we create a do-it-yourself paper rose backdrop, there are only few things we need; card stock paper, scissors, glue gun or glue stick.

Now that  were ready, lets get started.

Awesome and easy steps over here.

1. Take a piece of the card stock paper

2. Trace an outline/ or clip it

3. Cut the inside part of the traced outline

4. Roll it inside on the stick for the petals.

5. After completing all the rolls for the petals, use the hot glue for the circle (card stock paper).
