rozzy over on trimcraft set us a challenge to recycle three items to reuse. sadly i didnt get my three done but the ideas and tools are allready planned. i did however recycle a laundry tablet box, and what a chore this was, mainly because the paper was too thick, i knew i would need a stronger dst than my usual crafting one. on a visit to the pound shop i found wide carpet dst so luckily had it in my stash but noooo it refused to stay stuck down, a thick layer of pva glue and being weighed down eventually did the trick. i did however learn that on my next box if i avoid papering the inside flaps it should work better.
my eldest emma has decided she now wants this box. this challenge i also made work for another challenge, a colour one, pink and brown, later on once i find my gems i want and that piece of ribbon that has vanished of my desk i can finish the box.
sooo we have gone from this to this
