365 do-overs

The end

2012-01-07T06:24:00.000-08:00

This blog is named 365 do-overs and that is what it is. I will continue to craft but I will take a break from blogging. I still welcome comments on my posts. As the two part tiger - the halves come together using magnets - says, Thank You.

Day 365 January 8 THANK YOU

2012-01-07T06:23:00.000-08:00

This is it. The final day of my adventure. I have had so much fun, and learned so much and been given some really cool opportunities - all because of this blog. There were times I struggled with getting something done but for the most part I learned to manage my craft time and was always ready. I met some great people and have been supported in this venture by some great people. Thank you all so much. My last project is a self portrait and I used a lot of junk. There is t-shirts, buttons, scrap material, maps, magazines, brown paper bags to name a few. Thank you for looking!!

Day 364 January 6 pebble tray

2012-01-06T06:28:00.000-08:00

I used a picture of my mom on the bottom and surrounded the edge of the tray with pebbles. I added a piece of copper stamped with "grandma Janet". Then I filled the bottom with a layer of resin and let dry. It is a beautiful tray.

Day 363 January 5 broken dish jewelry

2012-01-05T08:21:00.000-08:00

The one on the left is a piece of plate given to me for this purpose and the one on the right is a piece of bowl that my son brought back from Turkey that didn't survive the trip. I glue the pieces onto thick felted sweaters for the base and then bead around it. They will become broaches or pendants.

Day 362 January 4 tote redo

2012-01-04T07:26:00.000-08:00

This was just a plain white tote bag. Boring. Now it is a fabulous tote bag. I added layers of ruffles using scrap fabric and a few scrap flowers to add a little interest. I love it now.

Day 361 January 3 tack balls

2012-01-03T06:38:00.000-08:00

These are only for decoration. They would look great with some other decorative balls in a glass vase. The gold and silver are the color of the tacks that I pushed into Styrofoam balls. The green one is spray painted. I don't think they would hang very well because the tacks may come out.

Day 360 January 2 gift wrap garland

2012-01-02T07:45:00.000-08:00

My niece painted this picture for me for Christmas. Isn't it incredibly cool? I loved the wrapping paper too so I made a bunch of origami balls and strung them into a garland. I love it.

Day 359 January 1 kusadama calender ball

2012-01-01T05:17:00.000-08:00

One last look at the old year as we go into the new. I made this ornament ball with the same calender as yesterdays Finnish star. I folded the kusadama flowers and formed them into a ball. I think it will hang year round after I take down the Christmas tree.

Day 358 December 31 finnish star

2011-12-31T07:01:00.000-08:00

It is the last day of the year 2011 so I thought I would make something out of an old calendar. This is called a Finnish star and it is very easy and very pretty. In with the new....out with the old calendar.

Day 357 December 30 t-shirt knot bracelet

2011-12-30T06:21:00.000-08:00

This is a very cool bracelet made out of t-shirts. The knot is what I really like.

Day 356 December 29 button stitch markers

2011-12-29T07:52:00.000-08:00

Knitters will know what these are. Stitch markers do just that - mark a stitch on the needle. Very usefull.

Day 355 December 28 scratch off

2011-12-28T09:02:00.000-08:00

I found out that if you mix a little dish soap with a little acrylic paint and you paint it on something you can scratch it off like a lottery ticket. Pretty cool. I can see doing this for kids birthday cards or just as a game for a baby shower or whatever. I just did it on my moo cards to see how it works.

Day 354 December 27 salt dough ornaments

2011-12-27T05:26:00.000-08:00

Salt, flour and water is all you need to make the dough. Then I rolled and cut them out, stamped them and baked them. After they cooled I whitewashed them a bit and gave them a protective finish. These make nice gift tags too

Day 353 December 26 placemat wrist cuff

2011-12-26T06:00:00.000-08:00

I made these wrist cuffs out of another set of holiday place mats that I got on clearance. I used some fabulous old buttons and made the cord out of scrap. I love these.

Day 352 December 25 paper medallion earrings

2011-12-25T05:31:00.000-08:00

These are made from some gold paper medallions. I think you could even cut some from some paper doilies. I painted and rubbed paint off to give them some color and depth. Then they were coated with a clear finish and hung as earring. Pretty.

Day 351 December 24 bottle brush trees

2011-12-24T08:01:00.000-08:00

I tried to make my own bottle brush trees. I took some rope and separated it into separate strings and then glued and twisted it into some wire. Then I trimmed it to look more like a tree. I think I could probably trim them better and maybe add some snow like the original bottle brush trees. Anyway, I feel I was successful but it could be a lot better and I hope you get the idea of what I was trying to make.

Day 350 December 23 placemat baskets

2011-12-23T08:21:00.000-08:00

I bought these place mats on clearance last year. I sewed the sides up and gave it a base and then added some handles. Now I can wrap a couple of gifts in style.

Day 349 December 22 paper scrap tree

2011-12-22T08:02:00.000-08:00

For this cute little tree I attached a skewer to a bottle cap base then layered scraps of cut up book paper. Then I painted a little glue on and sprinkled it with my home made glitter. The origami star tops it off.

Day 348 December 21 snowmen bread clips

2011-12-21T07:25:00.000-08:00

Instead of just throwing those bread clips away I painted a snowman face on it. Now I can use them for treat bags for the holidays. Very cute.

Day 347 December 20 five point star

2011-12-20T06:34:00.000-08:00

I love these stars and it is simply cutting the shape, scoring the folds and then folding. I covered a piece of cardboard with music paper before I folded and added some salt glitter for dazzle.

Day 346 December 19 salt glitter

2011-12-19T06:02:00.000-08:00

This isn't really sparkly like glitter but it stills look cool. It is just salt with a drop of food coloring cooked at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. It can be used like you would use glitter and you can make your own colors.

Day 345 December 18 scull snowflake

2011-12-18T05:13:00.000-08:00

Every snowflake is definitely different. I cut this one out of music paper and added a few interesting details. Then I glittered it a little on the edges for a little more dazzle. It will look very cool in the window.

Day 344 December17 coffee filter wreath

2011-12-17T06:55:00.000-08:00

Can you believe this beautiful wreath is made from only coffee filters and cardboard from a box? It is stunning. I only added a ribbon bow but you could add some little ornaments to it or other pretties.

Day 343 December 16 draft dodger

2011-12-16T07:52:00.000-08:00

I live in northern Michigan so it is cold. I made this draft dodger out of scraps of fleece and filled it with plastic bags. It works great and it didn't cost a thing but I am sure it saves a bit on energy.

Day 342 December 15 beach glass mobile

2011-12-15T06:36:00.000-08:00

I wrapped some beach glass and added beads to the wire for hanging. Then I hung several of them on a circle that I got in the floral department and covered with paper and paint. Very cool.

Day 341 December 14 light bulb hanging storage

2011-12-14T07:24:00.000-08:00

I found these huge light bulbs at Goodwill. It wasn't easy but I got the insides out and then wrapped the top with wire to hang it from. Then I filled it with all the origami stars I made. It looks great and I know where my little stars are for other projects.

Day 340 December 13 felt tree

2011-12-13T06:04:00.000-08:00

The base of this is a Styrofoam cone. I wrapped and glued on some green felted sweater. Now I can add some decorative tacks or pin on buttons or whatever.

Day 339 December 12 dryer sheet bags

2011-12-12T06:43:00.000-08:00

Dryer sheets make great little bags when sewn together. I am using these to package my hand warmers for gifts. They smell great.

Day 338 December 11 phone caddy

2011-12-11T06:22:00.000-08:00

This started out as a hand lotion bottle. I cleaned it, cut it and decoupaged material to it. Now the phone is off the floor when it is being recharged. And it looks pretty cool too.

Day 337 December 10 dog tutu

2011-12-10T06:26:00.000-08:00

I don't think Mattie likes it but she looks so cute under the Christmas lights in her tulle tutu. I knotted the tulle to a little girls sparkly headband and that is it.

Day 336 December 9 rice hand warmers

2011-12-09T07:45:00.000-08:00

I made some little bags from t-shirt material and stamped them with cherries and my green porcupine stamps. Then I filled them with rice and sewed them shut. 20 seconds in the microwave and they are ready for the coat pocket and will stay warm for 15 or 20 minutes. I added a few drops of scented oil to the rice so it smells good too.

Day 335 December 8 moravian star

2011-12-08T06:59:00.000-08:00

These three dimensional stars are made from an old movie poster. I thought I would try some big ones before I went to the smaller ones. There are some tricky folds in this origami. They would look good on my Christmas tree or put together in a circle for a wreath.

Day 334 December 7 tree earrings

2011-12-07T06:31:00.000-08:00

I made these cute and festive earrings out of book pages and wire and beads. I coated them with bees wax to give the paper a translucent look.

Day 333 December 6 dinosaur jar

2011-12-06T06:43:00.000-08:00

It is just a little jar but it is so much more with a dinosaur on the top. I just glued the toy on and now it is a special jar for that special something.

Day 332 December 5 snow globe

2011-12-05T06:02:00.000-08:00

I made this with a jar, glue, water, dash of glycerin, glitter and a figurine and a tree. Very easy and so cute.

Day 331 December 4 paper flower wreaths

2011-12-04T06:02:00.000-08:00

I love this spiral cut flower. It is so easy and the results are spectacular. I covered the Styrofoam wreaths with the same paper I used for the flowers. I used the book pages I cut out of a book to make a secret hiding place for one and maps for the other.

Day 330 December 3 spool kinara

2011-12-03T05:40:00.000-08:00

A kinara is the traditional candle holder for Kwanzaa. It is made much the same as the menorah but I used a black ceramic tile as a base and I painted the spools in the traditional colors of a kinara. The candles are just what I had around and are probably not traditional.

Day 329 December 2 spool menorah

2011-12-02T08:12:00.000-08:00

I made the base of this by decoupaging some music paper to a board and applying bees wax as a finish. The small wooden spools on top are also waxed. I sew a lot and have all shapes of spools so this menorah has a beautiful shape. These are the only small candles I had and they are probably not too traditional but they look pretty for the picture.

Day 328 December 1 light bulb pears

2011-12-01T06:50:00.000-08:00

What do you do with burnt out light bulbs? I wrapped a couple with thick twine and added a stem on top. They are a perfect pear shape and make a nice still life.

Day 327 November 30 washer pendants

2011-11-30T04:29:00.000-08:00

I used this type of washer before to make a necklace by stamping them. This time I covered some with material and some with paper and then coated them with a clear finish.

Day 326 November 29 felt scrap wreaths

2011-11-29T06:04:00.000-08:00

The title says it all. I took small squares of felted sweater scraps and strung them on some heavy thread and made them into small wreaths. Pretty on the tree.

Day 325 November 28 candy box makeover

2011-11-28T06:07:00.000-08:00

I saved this box because it is round and pretty sturdy. Now I have added some fabric flowers made from some upholstery material and a gold band by drawing with hot glue and them painting it. Now it can be used for a gift or maybe to save something special in.

Day 324 November 27 finger braided bracelets

2011-11-27T09:02:00.000-08:00

I used strips of t-shirts and my fingers to make these bracelets. The one on the left is two fingers and the one on the right four. You can also use just three. How cool it that? I added some cereal box beads for a little color.

Day 323 November 26 bottle cap coaster

2011-11-26T07:16:00.000-08:00

After drilling holes in the sides of some bottle caps, I wired them together. I put some hot glue on the bottom after I wired it to keep it from scratching a table top.

Day 322 November 25 scrap wrapped balls

2011-11-25T12:57:00.000-08:00

These were made with a glue gun, Styrofoam balls and scraps of fabric. Nothing gets thrown out in this house so I have to find a use for it. Well maybe some stuff gets thrown out but not if I find something cool like this to make with it.

Day 321 November 24 paper bead tree ornament

2011-11-24T06:53:00.000-08:00

Wire and paper rolled beads and assorted beads are all it takes to make these tree ornaments. I have lots of beads I've made and posted earlier. These could be in a circle shape or square or an initial? I can't wait to hang them.

Day 320 November 23 t-shirt hat

2011-11-23T06:17:00.000-08:00

T-shirts again. The possibilities really are endless. I made this cute hat entirely out of a t-shirt. I think it would look cute even with any graphics from the t-shirt on it.

Day 319 November 22 salt shaker snow men

2011-11-22T07:03:00.000-08:00

I saw these cute snow men on the cover of Cloth Paper Scissors. I used salt shakers filled with beads for the bodys, Styrofoam balls covered with strips of cloth for the heads, thimbles for the hats and assorted trims and stuff to make them fancy. Aren't they cute?

Day 318 November 21 origami tree

2011-11-21T06:41:00.000-08:00

I don't think I will ever tire of making things out of music paper. And that is a good thing because I have a lot. This tree is in five pieces plus the star on top. It is very easy and would decorate a table nicely.

Day 317 November 20 magazine bowl

2011-11-20T05:05:00.000-08:00

Making this little bowl I used the same technique as making the magazine rolled beads. It is just on a larger scale. I love this.

Day 316 November 19 bottle tree topper

2011-11-19T07:42:00.000-08:00

I see this as looking spectacular on a tree with lights twinkling. Using the same tecnique as yesterdays icicles I used the top of the bottle as a base and glued the icicles on to make this starburst.

Day 315 November 18 bottle icicles

2011-11-18T08:07:00.000-08:00

These will look great on the Christmas tree. I cut up a 2 liter bottle into strips and then heating them over a candle twisted them into icicles. I punched a hole in the top for stringing.

Day 314 November 17 jeans pocket posies

2011-11-17T04:40:00.000-08:00

I just wanted to make some denim roses but they weren't working out but these little posies did. I put them on some cut out pockets and added leaves and a little paint for highlights and now they will make cute gift packages for gift cards or cash or jewelry or ?

Day 313 November 16 wine cork ornaments

2011-11-16T06:06:00.000-08:00

All I used for these really cool ornaments is wine corks, buttons, beads, wire and old keys. They will look delightful on my Christmas tree.

Day 312 November 15 personalized clue game

2011-11-15T07:46:00.000-08:00

I remade a Clue Game into a "Hinds Haven't got a Clue Game". I took an old clue board and made the rooms into rooms that go with my family.. craft room, movie room, family room,etc. The five people are now family members and the weapons are more pertinent to my family.. wine bottle, paint brush, computer bug, etc. I made the cards being careful that the backs looked the same and the score sheets. It is very very cool and fun to play.

Day 311 November 14 can flag

2011-11-14T07:32:00.000-08:00

A little late for Veteran's Day, but isn't every day Veteran's Day? A cardboard box, some aluminum cans, and some glue and paint come together to make this cool American flag.

Day 310 November 13 magazine envelopes

2011-11-13T07:01:00.002-08:00

I took an envelope and opened it up to use as a pattern. Then I cut the shape out of magazine pages and put them together. They can be lined with any kind of paper too. Great for the holidays.

Day 309 November 12 rice bag bucket bag

2011-11-12T06:37:00.000-08:00

Okay so I changed a bag into a bag.. but it is still way different. My friend Lisa feeds her dogs rice so she has these great rice bags. They even have a zipper. I deconstructed it and used it for the outside of this bucket bag. I made a pocket where the zipper is. Very cool.

Day 308 November 11 leg warmers

2011-11-11T07:51:00.000-08:00

I put these over boots but they can be worn just for kicking back at home. All I did was cut a felted sweater -washed to shrink- and sewed it up to make a tube. You could cut the sleeves off a felted sweater and make a no-sew version but this sweater was a child's size and the sleeves were too small.

Day 307 November 10 toilet paper roll guys

2011-11-10T12:50:00.000-08:00

I saw some faces out of toilet paper rolls done and so I thought I would try it. It is not as easy as it looked. His turned out much better, but it was fun and I think I did okay. They look a bit like Easter Island rocks.

Day 306 November 9 twine basket

2011-11-09T04:59:00.000-08:00

I crocheted this little basket with a really big hook and some thick twine. Then I added some beads that I made from cardboard and paper. Cute.

Day 305 November 8 pop tab bracelet

2011-11-08T05:54:00.000-08:00

This is so easy and really fun to make. It is just pop tabs woven together with some hemp cord.

Day 304 November 7 drink bottle cubby

2011-11-07T04:34:00.000-08:00

This would be great in the bathroom for keeping magazines. I used three drink bottles and cut off the tops and covered the rim of the open ends with duct tape. I then glued them together and wrapped some twine around them leaveing a loop to hang it with. It could be used for sorting mail or important papers too.

Day 303 November 6 kristins bouquet

2011-11-06T05:46:00.000-08:00

I made the bridal bouquet for my son's wedding. My mew daughter-in-law loved it. I made a whole lot of small kusidama flowers and put them on wires. Then I put some gold and sparkly brooches that I found at garage sales and thrift stores and where ever I could find them and put them on wires. When I put it together it was a round ball shape and then I wrapped the wires with a strip of gold cloth. Gorgeous!!

Day 302 November 5 twisted nedklace

2011-11-05T06:39:00.000-07:00

I like to make pendants and I need something to hang them from. I made this necklace and bracelet by ripping a thin strip of scrap material and twisting it until it twists on itself. Then I knotted it and added a button. The other end is a natural loop for the button. You could put several together if you needed a longer one.

Day 301 November 4 rolled bead ornament

2011-11-04T06:50:00.000-07:00

I took some of the paper beads I rolled and put them together with wire and some beads. It is getting to be time to think of Christmas and these would look good on the tree.

Day 300 November 3 easy paper garland

2011-11-03T07:02:00.000-07:00

This is the easiest garland ever. I punched circles from some old postcards and them punched little holes to string them. Great for small children. Just punch bigger holes for stringing and any paper will work.

Day 299 November 2 t-shirt flowers

2011-11-02T06:03:00.000-07:00

I will just say it again. I love t-shirt material. A little twisting and gluing and I embellished some clutches with some pretty flowers.

Day 298 November 1 bag lady dress

2011-11-01T12:30:00.000-07:00

Halloween is over but this costume was a hit. The Bag Lady's dress is made of fused plastic bags sewn together. I added a paper bag hat and tea bag earrings. Cost? $0.00

Day 297 October 31 belt bracelt

2011-10-31T06:33:00.000-07:00

I had this belt with a cute buckle but it didn't fit me anymore so I cut it down and it is now a bracelet.

Day 296 October 30 little book pendant

2011-10-30T07:01:00.000-07:00

Scrap leather and torn book pages make little books and some of the beads I've made in the past add some charm to this statement pendant.

Day 295 October 29 pumpkin cans

2011-10-29T16:52:00.000-07:00

The way I cook I have a lot of cans. I painted these and added wire handles for some cute pumpkins that can be filled with treats.

Day 294 October 28 book monogram

2011-10-28T05:28:00.000-07:00

Cut a book with a jigsaw into a letter of your choice. Makes a nice statement on a bookshelf.

Day 293 October 27 garden tool hook

2011-10-27T07:34:00.000-07:00

I don't know about you but I am always forgetting my reusable grocery bags. I needed a hook to hang them where I would see them. I cleaned up this old garden tool and screwed it into the wall. Very useful and cool..

Day 292 October 26 map dresser

2011-10-26T06:12:00.000-07:00

I have had this dresser since I was a little girl so it was pretty rough. I took maps from old National Geographics and decoupaged them on it. Now it is cool.

Day 291 October 25 bottle cap tacks

2011-10-25T06:06:00.000-07:00

The bottle caps are lined with decorative paper and filled with resin. Then I glued a tack to the back with strong glue and now I have tacks for my wine cork board.

Day 290 October 24 cassette case stand

2011-10-24T07:43:00.000-07:00

From outdated to new and modern. I used this old cassette case to hold my i-pod. I painted some chalk board paint on it for a little flair. It could be used for your slim phone too.

Day 289 October 23 cigar box ring case

2011-10-23T08:16:00.000-07:00

This is marvelous. I folded a felted sweater and glued it inside a cigar box. What a great way to store or display rings. And it is all recycled.

Day 288 October 22 dice birdhouse garland

2011-10-22T07:21:00.000-07:00

This little garland was made with playing dice and cardboard and glue and paint. They would look cute on a cord for a necklace too.

Day 287 October 21 dinosaur pencil holder

2011-10-21T11:12:00.000-07:00

My desk is rockin' with this new addition. I painted a toy dinosaur all one color and cut a hole in the top for my pencils and pens. He is ferociously cute.

Day 286 October 20 indian corn necklace

2011-10-20T06:36:00.000-07:00

This is truly a fall necklace. I soaked the kernels from some Indian corn cobs and strung them onto some heavy thread. Very cool.

Day 285 October 19 acorn pumpkins

2011-10-19T06:02:00.000-07:00

Teenie weenie pumpkins can be made with acorns. Just a little paint and something to draw on the face and look how cute.

Day 284 October 18 secret stash book

2011-10-18T07:30:00.000-07:00

The outside of this book looks like a regular book. But when you open it up a secret compartment is revealed. I used a jigsaw to cut the through the pages and them applied a sealer around the inside. Just don't forget what book you put the stash in.

Day 283 October 17 milkweed poinsetta

2011-10-17T10:09:00.000-07:00

I glued some milkweed pods together and then painted them a soft pink. Red would look great but all I had was pink. Then I added some beads in the centers and stems. The piece of birch bark makes a great looking vase.

Day 282 October 16 maple leaf roses

2011-10-16T05:30:00.000-07:00

A rose is a rose is a rose.. unless it's a maple leaf. With a little folding I turned some beautiful fall leaves into some beautiful roses. I don't know how long they will last but even a real rose doesn't last forever.

Day 281 October 15 glow in the dark jar

2011-10-15T09:06:00.000-07:00

If you break open a glow stick you get a little glass vial with the liquid glow. I poured that into a jar and now it glows. The stuff is non-toxic but be careful with the glass vial. These glowing jars will make great Halloween decorations instead of candles.

Day 280 October 14 owl banner

2011-10-14T05:55:00.000-07:00

WHOOO doesn't like owls? These little guys are made with scrap material and buttons for eyes. Nice.

Day 279 October 13 baseball wrist cuff

2011-10-13T07:25:00.000-07:00

The Tigers lost last night but it's been fun watching them. I made this wrist cuff out of an old baseball cut up, a piece of felted sweater and some jewelry parts. It looks pretty cool on my wrist.

Day 278 October 12 dryer lint fire starters

2011-10-12T07:45:00.000-07:00

These aren't pretty but they work great. I saved the lint from the dryer and put it in cupcake wraps. Then I poured melted wax from broken candles over it and let it cool. When I put in in the wood stove and light it I get a good long lasting flame to get that sometimes damp wood started.

Day 277 October 11 shotgun sushi pendants

2011-10-11T07:24:00.000-07:00

In my walks by the pond near my house I often find used shotgun shells. I thought the brass base would make a nice base for some t-shirt sushi pendants. What do you think?

Day 276 October 10 waxed pine cones

2011-10-10T08:04:00.000-07:00

I have pine trees so I have pine cones. I dipped these in some wax from some broken old candles. They are very pretty and I think they make good fire starters. I do have a wood stove and they may be used for that.

Day 275 October 9 paper bag post cards

2011-10-09T05:46:00.000-07:00

Paper bags, a little tissue paper and a little machine sewing and I've got some cute postcards. I sewed together three layers of paper bag after I finished decorating the front.

Day 274 October 8 doily lamp

2011-10-08T06:57:00.000-07:00

I used five of somebodies grandmothers doilies for this lamp. I soaked them in a paste mixture and applied them to a blown up balloon. When it was dry I popped the balloon and put a string of lights inside. It is very pretty. I wanted to make it hanging but I didn't have the right kind of light fixture.

Day 273 October 7 troll vase

2011-10-07T06:42:00.000-07:00

This troll lost it's hair making it perfect for this project. I painted it with a metallic paint and added some of my kusidama flowers. Is it cute or creepy?

Day 272 October 6 spider web t-shirt

2011-10-06T06:26:00.000-07:00

Halloween is getting closer and this t-shirt redo is perfect. I took an old t-shirt and cut out the web pattern on the back. Now when Dana wears it over another t-shirt it looks so spooky and creepy.

Day 271 October 5 water bottle gift containers

2011-10-05T07:45:00.000-07:00

These are water bottles cut down and taped on the top to make a smoother edge. I added some decorative paper inside and punched holes for handles. You could write on the paper before being inserted in the bottle. Just fill with candy or a small gift or a trick or treat.

Day 270 October 4 cereal box beads

2011-10-04T07:45:00.000-07:00

This is so easy and yet the results are so cool. Because the material is cardboard these are fairly large beads.

Day 269 October 3 acorn t-shirt sushi

2011-10-03T07:50:00.000-07:00

I rolled t-shirt material and glued it into acorn shells. It looks like sushi to me. I am going to glue loops onto these and use them as pendants or beads. I love the colors and textures.

Day 268 October 2 screen leaves

2011-10-02T07:01:00.000-07:00

It's fall in northern Michigan and the leaves are falling. These leaves are made from screening and puffy paint. Just draw out the leaf design and cut out.

Day 267 October 1 tin roof birdhouse

2011-10-01T07:11:00.000-07:00

I really love"picnik" photo editing and when I have a photo that is really kind of boring I like to spice it up. This is a premade birdhouse that I put a new roof on. I used circles of drink cans for shingles. Then I put some wire that I spiraled on the top for pictures or cards. I glued some can parts to the bottom to add a little more color too.
