Today I'm posting another altered project. This one is a simple plastic container that was used for snack mix. Well, I took it and made it into a special snack container for my hubby. He absolutely loves the mix "Nuts n Bolts". It's one I make a lot for gifts each Christmas. But for Father's Day this year, I thought I'd fix up a special container just for him. Below are the pictures from beginning to end.
I created this using stash. The container is recycled.
Recipe: 3 coordinating papers
2-3 coordinating ribbons
brads that look like screws (I clipped the backs off so they would lie flat on the curved surface of the container.
press on letters
3 different sizes of permanent tape.
Here is a project I did last Christmas for my grand daughter, Hannah. Her favorite colors naturally are pink, purple, black & white. And she loves bling ... I mean reallllllly loves bling. So Grandma did her best.
I started with one of those composition notebooks. I picked up several dozen at the beginning of the school year for ---wait for it---- 13 cents each. Woohoo! Love a bargain.
I then really just went into my ribbon stash , paper, gems and jewels, pearls, and on on on.....I went. What a great way to use up stash in such a fun method. The pictures are shots of the front and back. A couple of pix of the inside of the covers. Hopefully, they show up well enough for you to see how good it turned out. Hannah was so happy with it. Yea!!!! That's what this grandma needs to hear.
So enjoy. I have tried to show various angles of both the front and back covers. The last 2 pictures ,of course, are the inside of the front and back covers.
