Hey everyone, so nice to see you today!
Crafty recycling is the heart of this blog and I try my best to turn what we consider "trash" from blah to TADA!
Take this empty box for example. It was once home to sticks of butter.
The other side of the box is white cardboard. Just like scrapbook paper or card stock, this is a blank slate ideal for crafting...TADA!
I used cling stamps, an ink pad and colored pencils to make these flowers.
I cut them out with a sharp pair of precision scissors. They look like die-cut flowers, don't you think? No fancy machines required.
Here is how I used them:
As a finishing touch to a handmade greeting card.
To make a collage on a small brown paper bag (I'll use this to wrap a present).
To embellish a handmade notebook.
No one will know that some parts of these paper crafts were recycled! I encourage you to reuse and repurpose whenever you can. Save some cash and save the planet.
And that is how a turned food packaging from blah to TADA!
