Magazine Wreath

This does feel like a piece of art. Oh well, that's what I told my husband when he saw this project in the making ..:)  See, while growing up, we had these small corner stores that would pile up receipt in the pin stand. So he made a comment that this looked like those receipts piled up ..lol ..  I told him its still art and well we didnt know to appreciate art back then ..:D

Cork Coasters/Mats

I have been collecting wine bottle corks for sometime now. I had collected quiet a few and then one of my friends came to know that I am collecting corks and she dropped a whole bag full of corks for me. So I had a plenty to work with.

Recycling Magazine - Part 2

Just like I mentioned in my previous post, I am still using trying to reuse my magazine pile. So here's another simple project made with magazine..:)

Reusing old magazines

I still have absolutely no idea what I want to make with these rolls that I started making with old magazines.

I was doing my spring cleaning and found that we have piles of old magazines that I no longer need. I didn't want to just toss them out and thought of making something - I just didn't know what that something would be 😃

Popsicle Crate Box.

Get some Popsicle sticks and make these small crates. Its cute, its fun and can be used for many different things. Everything is cuter in tiny versions and this little crate is just that. But its still big enough to store or display things.

Weave Basket

Can you guess that I made this basket with paper towel rolls. When I first saw this project online, I just wanted to make one and have been collecting the paper towel rolls enough to make this cute little basket.

Paper Christmas Tree

Is it too early to start thinking about Christmas. Well, the stores already have Christmas stuff out, so maybe not.

Last weekend, I was cleaning up the piles and piles of magazines that we have collected and thought it was time to get rid of old ones. But instead of just throwing or giving it away, I wanted to see if I can do or make somethings with it. So, one of the things that I made from it, was these folded Christmas tree.

It also reminded me of another paper Christmas tree that I made last year with old magazines and it happens to be one of my popular posts too..:) . Check it out here, to see how I made this one

Pie dish Succulent garden

You know how I felt when one of my favorite pie dish broke... I was sad and didn't want to throw it away...

I glued the pieces back, but I knew I cant use it for cooking purpose because of the glue I used. So I planted my succulents. And I am happy that I can still have my pie dish and I can use it...:)
