Adapted from a traditional basket-making technique, this colorful heart box is made using recycled magazines and posters discarded from a printing company. Artisans form the paper into flat strips, dip them in a glue mixture and hang them to dry. After this they re-wet the strips and coil them into a bowl form. The strips are held together with the glue, forming a sturdy vessel. Dimensions: 2" x 2" x 1.5" Handmade | Fair Trade | Eco-Friendly Show more
