How to Recycle Magazines into Jewelry

Before you recycle those old magazines, turn some of their pages into pretty coiled pendants. You can make a whole collection of them in no time.

What you'll need:

* Magazine pages
* Scissors
* Bone folder
* Thin wooden skewer
* Low-temp glue gun
* White craft glue
* Eye pin
* Blank cardstock
* Clear acrylic sealer
* Jump ring

A note on glue: After much testing, I've found that my low-temp hot glue gun works well for this project. Since this kind of glue hardens so quickly, I can build my coils in a snap. Keep in mind, though, that you can accidentally come into contact with the hot glue, and if your fingers are sensitive, they could burn.
