With the move to a new office location, and new cubicle styles, I decided I needed to make a new candy bowl. I came across
this post from SouthernFlairCrafts.com and knew it would be perfect. I cute a small Kleenex box in half, and started glueing on some jute rope I had leftover from other projects. With a fat quarter from the fabric store, I made an insert that would fold over the edge of the box. And voila! Because of the rope, this actually makes for a pretty sturdy basket. I may have to make more of these...
Let fall decorating commence!
I saw
this post from Addicted2Decorating.com that made art from pistachio shells. We often have pistachios so I asked
Joe to save the shells from the next batch we bought.
So one night, a bag of pistachios and a few glue sticks later...
I started out first making flowers just like in the post, but realized as I went along, I could take the same concept only arrange the shells slightly different to make pine cones:
I love creating things from materials I just have laying around!
Those are SO CUTE!! Does the glue hold up well? I can see a grandkid project in the near future. :-)
ReplyDeleteHaven't had any glue misfires so far!
ReplyDeleteLOL I have only been blogging and joining parties for about 4 months but sometimes things just astound me and this is one.
ReplyDeleteLOVE It / marking to favorites... I will have to feed my grandson and his daddy some pistachios and then do this down the line ! This is so creative and cute! :)
