Paper Cushion

So we have the office shredder that shreds paper to bits and then we dump it for recycling. Now how about adding a twist to the process? Let the shredded paper fall into this self-sealing clear cushion cover; fill it up to become a beautiful cushion. Agreed it may not have a very long life, but as a stress buster or a kitsch pillow it will add a dash of excitement. This is one cool upcycle idea!
