Magazine stationery

A lot of people don't realise that the phrase "reduce, reuse, recycle" is written in order of priority. Making stationery from recycled paper is a fabulous thing, but reusing papery things to make other papery things is better, environment-wise.

Chemistry paper stationery

Today, I've been making sustainable stationery for my Etsy shop (or possibly my personal use) from Permaculture magazine. I think the editors would be proud. I've also been known to make envelope sets from out-of-date chemistry exam papers and world-record books, which are fun! The chemistry ones have been most popular.

They have the open part on a shorter edge, which I've always preferred, and I put them in sets of 6 with 12 sheets of paper, tied up with a nice reused ribbon.
