Movable Toy Stationary Holders?

I've always loved toys, and I would like to do my part in recycling. Somehow, along the way, I decided to make use of those good cardboard boxes that I've collected, and make them into something useful, yet "play-able". Thus came the idea of making stationary holders that are movable... like toy cars, yet can carry some stuff in it... So made these...

I know they are not perfect, but am very glad that I made them. They are my prototypes, and thus will continue to 'polish' up my skills and hopefully the next few 'toys' will be much better...

Crafted Stationary Holders...




Running along the line of recycling, was wondering what could be done with the tons of magazine, cardboard paper that we used and threw out each day. Thus I came up with the idea of recycling them by making them into something use-able – Stationary holders… The only major setback will be the strenuous process of papier-mache. Not only is it time consuming, it also requires patience to ensure that each piece of paper is properly papier-mache so as to maintain the shape and smooth surface of the product. Nonetheless, the end products were satisfactory. To add to the finishing touch, the products were further decorated with fabrics.
