Once after shredding some junk mail, I thought to myself, “what could I do with that paper?” So I grabbed some colorful pieces and went to work on creating a recycled-paper pendant. I made my second one today, and took plenty of pictures so you can DIY. Unless you would rather buy one from my etsy shop. 
You will need:
A metal scrapbook “tag” – or some other sturdy metal form.
Strips of paper.
Mod Podge
Beading Wire – 26 guage
Beads of your choice
Jump Ring
1. Find a magazine page or other paper you want to work with. This is often the hardest part. Either run it through your shredder or cut it into strips by hand.
2. Get out your Mod Podge. As a child, I made collages galore at my grandmother’s house using the stuff. I love it. It’s an all-purpose glue/sealer/finisher great for any number of paper projects.
3. Apply the goop liberally to your metal tag. Then start laying the strips horizontally over the surface of the tag. (Note: You don’t have to lay them horizontally or even all in the same direction. But to get it to look like mine, go with horizontal).
4. Be careful to wrap the strip all the way around the back of the pendant, and cut off any excess.
Note: At this point the back will be a mess. Don’t worry about that – we’ll fix it.
5. Keep applying the strips until the front is covered. Don’t forget to punch a hole through the paper in the top so you can insert the jump ring later.
6. Let the front dry.
7. Cut smaller strips to apply horizontally over the back (don’t wrap around to the front this time). this will cover those jagged edges you end up with.
8. Let the back dry.
9. Insert jump ring for hanging.
10. String beads and do a quick wrap of the wire around the pendant 3-4 times. Secure by twisting or crimping in back.
