This week was about creating with paper. First I made a bunch of medallions from old security envelopes for holiday packages. This idea came from the scissor variations blog. I then made some bows from magazines before they hit the recycling bin. I saw the instructions for these on How about Orange.
It was a fairly busy week with the last Shabby Chic class, soccer and First Night at Art Central. This week end home to get to Make it show and sale at the Chinese Cultural Centre. Then hope to get some pj's and sandwich wraps cut out. Cheers!!!
I have always loved vintage ordinary household items. My grandparents were experts at making do with what they had, and fixing up old things that others saw no value in to create beautiful useable items. I have done various types of crafts starting with sewing when I was 13 years old. Since then I have knit, done needlework, quilted and most recently done a variety of paper crafts. I love thrift stores and antique shops and am always looking for that great unique find!!!
