Day 80 March 28 scrap flowers

Spring is in the air but we did have a foot of snow last week and the flowers are not out yet. I made these from some material out of a box of scraps given to me.  I fused together different pattern material with wire in between to shape the petals.  Each one is unique and beautiful.

Day 79 March 27 cork pen

Drill holes in some wine corks and insert pen.  You will find this writing instrument very easily in your bag or purse.

Day 78 March 26 phone cover

My daughter replaced the protective cover that was on her phone and I needed one for mine.  We have the same phone but I didn't like the blue color so I decoupaged some cool material onto it, snapped it on and now it is exactly what I wanted and like no other.

Day 77 March 25 bottle cap table

I save everything and I have a lot of bottle caps.  One of the things I have done with them is cover this little table.  I used resin to make it somewhat smooth.  I really like it!

Day76 March 24 newspaper flowers

I think these would make pretty hair ornaments for a luau party. They are made from newspaper and cardboard and buttons.

Day 75 March 23 playing card hair ornaments

Playing cards make cute flowers.  I added one to a bobby pin and it looks very cool in your hair.

Day 74 March 22 record clock

I love the jackets from old record albums.  I added clock workings to this one and hung it on the wall.

Day 73 March 21 t-shirt sandals

I made these on a very simple loom - my toes and my fingers.  They are made from strips of t-shirts and  cord.  Cost? Nothing!

Day 72 March 20 salt shaker vase

If you have a salt shaker- you have a vase.  Add  some flowers made from fused plastic and buttons and you get this cute little decoration..

day 71 March 19 6-pack tote

Take an empty 6-pack holder and turn  it into a tote for your art supplies or silverware or whatever.  I decoupaged and stamped and painted these.

Day 70 March 18 watch pendant

In honor of Daylight Savings Time I made this watch pendant necklace.  I deconstructed a broken watch and made a collage of watch inner parts and old dictionary page inside.  I then added some random broken chains and made it a necklace.  It is very interesting and fun.

Day 69 March 17 t-shirt scarf

I thought I needed to add a little green to my outfit today because it is St. Patrick's Day.  I made this scarf out of some old green t-shirts.  One of them was an old Ireland t-shirt that I outgrew.  Happy Leprechaun Day! I hope everyone finds their pot of gold.

Day 68 March 16 dog food bag carry bag

With two little dogs and one cat I buy a lot of pet food.  The bags of some of them are a thick plastic and with a little cutting and sewing make sturdy carry bags.

Day 67 March 15 belt loop rings

When I made the rug yesterday, I removed the belt loops.  So today I made rings with them.  These are a variation of the button rings I made before but they are out of denim and I used the belt loops insead of elastic.  I really like these.

Day 66 March 14 jeans band rug

I have a lot of jeans to work with and what do you do with the waist bands?  I sewed them together and made this cool rug. It still doesn't cover the ugly linoleum floor but it helps.  It could also be a table mat.
