ODDS AND ENDS
Tuesday, January 31st, 2012I’m always encouraging (badgering) people to make room for their food storage, even if it means parting with some of the endless craft supplies. But throwing things out can be difficult. Here’s a suggestion for re-purposing and using up some of those miscellaneous odds and ends.
This idea came to me in the grocery store while I was shopping for some wrapping supplies. Can you believe the cost of fancy gift bags and ribbons? Yikes. Completely put off, I headed home, determined to find something that would work just as well.
In the spirit of “brown paper packages tied up with string” I settled on using up a little hem tape, ric-rac, and bias tape to trim this box.
Then I remembered my stash of old buttons. I’m keeping them because “I might really need them later” but really, I’m just keeping them.
These seemed like a close enough match and I found random little felt guys to coordinate. Wrapping angels!
Now, a normal person would KNOW where their 3 glue guns were stored, but I actually had to get out a needle and thread.
Totally insecure about my crafting abilities, the compliments from friends at the baby shower were greatly appreciated.
