Inspiration: Newspaper yarn artists

Newspaper is a readily available material that most households have. Usually discarded or recycled, newspaper can also be transformed into wonderful pieces of art or practical objects. 

Ivano Vitali is arguably one of the most popular newspaper yarn artist. He has been creating sculptures, furniture and clothes using newspaper since 1996. He made his own large knitting needles and crochet hooks to complete his larger-than-life works.
