This is pretty rad. Have you heard of Rob Walker's new Unconsumption Project yet? He asked a select group of artists to create a project re-purposing existing items using his Unconsumption logo - the idea is to essentially create something cool and "new" from something you already own. Anyway, I came across this fun video from the folks at Yellow Owl Workshop where they created a project to turn junk mail or scrap paper into personal stationery. They also then made a downloadable template for it. Click here for the details!

Thanks for sharing this!

P.S. Kirsten's comment here is spot on.
I'm really chiming in to give credit to Clifton Burt for actually designing our logo, and to all the Unconsumption Tumblr contributors. They are the ones who make it exciting for me to be a co-contributor to one of my favorite blogs!
Anyway, you picked a great project to highlight. Christine blew us away with this....We hope she helps inspire much Unconsuming.
