This week I'm very excited to be hosting the challenge at the Stampotique Designers Blog and I'm inviting you to recycle something for your creation. I really do dislike throwing things away which could be given a new lease of life hence I have a corner of the room cluttered with things which 'might come in handy one day'.
With the warmer evenings finally arriving, I've made a few of these to hang around the garden from trees and things. Although you can't see in the photo the paper which can be seen on the inside of the jar is a book page that mentions light and dark, so thought it appropriate. It was quite easy to make. Just measure the jar area you would like to cover. Cut out your aperture, here I chose a star at the front and back, than stamp away. I chose Spray and Roc's fab Owl Tree stamp. A few fibres/wood around the top over the wire hanging and Bob's your uncle.
I can't wait to see your creations for this challenge but most importantly - have fun!!!
Wishing you a lovely day, Sam xxx
