9. Newspapers as a piece of furniture
An even more unusual use case for newspapers is to make them look like a bedside table or stand. You can just stack newspapers in a pile - such a stand, of course, will not be too stable. It is possible to paste over rectangles of thick cardboard with newspapers and then assemble them into a pile and glue them together - the structure will be more durable.
