Lustables: Coiled Newspaper Clock

A classic timepiece made from tossed out and coiled up old newspapers.

This is the Women’s Multipurpose Co-Op’s attempt at making the world a more eco-friendly place, one recycled newspaper at a time. To coil this clock, each paper is wrapped and shaped into spiraled “building blocks” before being joined with thread and glue, and starched to make it firm. The cost is $28, well worth it considering the artisanal organization you’ll be helping out.

The Women’s Multipurpose Co-op fosters the growth and empowerment of women artisans in Baguio City, the Philippines.

A timely cause we can get behind.
