Craft Time

It has been a little while since I've gotten to sit down and do a craft. Not going to lie, I've missed it. There is nothing more satisfying that burning your fingers on the hot glue gun and having something to show for it.

This one is for my mum, who still acts like she appreciates her child's art work. I love you, Mum!

I rummaged through the recycle bin to see what I could save and create. I found a tissue box that had a really cool pattern, some cardboard, and the rest I grabbed from the supply box.

I cut out this piece of cardboard into a donut shape, and threw on some paint I had from a sample tin. I only did one quick coat and so it ended up drying a little streaky, which actually was what I was going for. It looks like painted wood from a distance.

This is where I busted out the hot glue gun. I used those pieces of the tissue box I had cut out and glued them to clothes pins. I also ran some thick jute around the edges of the cardboard, to finish off the ugly edges thanks to my dull scissors.


Lastly, I glued the clothes pins onto the front and some heavy duty magnets to the back of the donut shaped piece of cardboard 
and voila.

This is where I'm not sure what to do with it, which is why I'm glad I made it for my mum. She gets to decide. Cardholder? Picture holder? Tea stash?

The possibilities are endless! 
What would you use it as?

Happy Crafting!
