Hello everyone!
I love to repurpose materials that I find around the house and transform them from blah to TADA!
These were originally food boxes. Shaping them into birds and decorating them with acrylic paint gives them new life as greeting cards or classroom decor...TADA!
This little booklet is made of junk mail envelopes, dressed up with scrapbook paper and rubber stamps...TADA!
These envelopes are fashioned out of brown paper bags and the liners are magazine pages...TADA!
So you see, we can start crafting with items that we already have on hand. All we need is some imagination. Let's see how we can re-imagine these:
They are cardboard boxes and I think you'll agree that they look quite blah.
But when we add a few coats of paint, they look more presentable.
Trim them into rectangles and they become postcards...TADA!
Here are several ways I gave them a new look:
Adding some paint splatters and gluing on some hand-drawn fodder flowers make these postcards extra cheerful!
Apart from hand-painted fodder flowers, hand lettering, and handmade confetti, I used floral gift wrap tissue to decorate these postcards...TADA!
Quotes and words of encouragement done in hand lettering or calligraphy can easily turn these blank postcards from blah to TADA!
And these postcards are made extra colorful using paint, rubber stamps, and flowers drawn with a pointed nib pen...TADA!
That is how I turned cardboard boxes from blah to TADA!
