So Paper Tears, Who Knew?

As I started this project I wasn't really sure what to do.  My words were tear and support.  As I was cleaning through my room I came upon some old notebooks. 

These were notebooks from classes I had long since finished.  And I decided instead of just throwing them away, or tearing them up on camera, I would make something from them.  


To start I did have to do some tearing.
Next I folded and interlaced them to add some strength. 

After some stapling I was left with a strip like this one.  It seems pretty sturdy actually. 

A short time later and I have all the strips individually.  Next to fashion them together...

...and done.  A decently sized rope is formed. 

I tied and staple one end to a beam on my second story balcony..

And now to wait to see if I can climb up using this rope. 
Apparently not even a little bit.
