Photo: Recycled Paper Basket. Normally $39.95, but on Sale for $29.99!
I saw these beautiful handmade paper baskets at Plow & Hearth. These handmade recycled paper baskets are made by skilled paper weavers in the Philippines, providing needed income to families while reducing the impact on the earth. This tote is sturdy enough for a full load of magazines or newspapers. This particular tote measures 12"L x 6"D x 13"H, but there are other shapes and sizes. The regular price of the baskets cost about $35 to $40, but the recycled paper basket featured above is on sale for $29.99. You can also save an additional 15% off your purchase of $75 or more at Plow & Hearth by using coupon code LNKPH15.

I lack the skills to make the totes featured above, but I liked the idea of recycling or upcycling old magazines and newspapers into beautiful, eco-friendly new products. I found this neat YouTube video on how to make a recycled magazine holder out of a shoe box and coiled magazines. The instructions look simple enough. I may attempt to make one in the future.

I did end up creating a makeup brush holder out of a tin can and sheets of magazines rolled into tubes. Click here to see how I did it.

Most of women love such bags so if you get the design right, they will definitely carry them! The promotional aspect is two-fold. On one hand, you are telling people about your business and products or services.
