This is the follow-up to the envelope. I used more goodies from my sister and didn't have glue or clear tape, but I think this is pretty decent improvisation.
Reclaimed Material: cardboard gift bag, drink pouch, ribbon
Other/New Material: none
Tools: scissors, black electrical tape
How I did it: I used the template (from my sister used in the envelope post from 2/26) to cut out the gift bag to make the base of the card. I cut a rectangle from the drink pouch and cut two slits in the center for the bow. I cut out circles from the tape to match the base and attached the rectangle to the base.
What I would do differently: Of course there are so many ways to do this differently. Access to my scrapbooking stuff would make a difference.
My 2012 resolution is to create a recycled craft everyday from discarded items. I am sure some crafts will turn out great...and others not so much, but I will admit those. I hope these experiments inspire people to create things from items they would usually throw away. This is not necessarily and instructional blog, but a journal of my creative journey, but I hope this sparks ideas for creative upcycling for you. If any instructions are needed, just ask.
