More goodies, courtesy of my sister. She gets the nicest and fanciest garbage! I think I am jealous. She gave me a bunch of ribbon and tulle, along with little metal flowers that were packaging for something she bought. The little container said "party eyelashes" -- ooooh la la, so I had to figure out a way to cover up the words.
Reclaimed Material: metal tin, metal flower
Other/New Material: none
Tools: paint pen, glitter glue, push pin
How I did it: I used a gold paint pen to cover the words on the lid. Once the paint dried, I put a dab of glitter glue on the end of each petal. I used a push pin to make a hole in the center of the lid (plastic). The little metal bauble had a little knob on the back which I pushed through the hole in the lid.
What I would do differently: I should have been a little neater with the paint pen on this, but overall I am happy with how this turned out.
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.
