Repurposed

We always have "junk"

laying around here at the

shop. Why would we throw away

what we can repurpose into

something new and beautiful?

So, yesterday I took these little

tin boxes we had and decoupaged

old music paper over them, added

a little glitter, and some buttons

viola! Something beautiful, and

just in time to put a little

Christmas gift in.

Here take a look...

First, you will need Mod Podge, a

cheap brush, and some paper.

(I chose vintage music paper, but you can

use whatever you want.) 

After the glue dried, I took

our hot glue gun and glued

buttons on the cover, just

to add a little interest and

because it's just cute...

who doesn't love buttons? 

Finished! What do you think?

It's the perfect size to fill

with Christmas cookies or candies

and give to a friend...and to

think this could have ended up

in the trash! 

This is what it looked like before

in the middle and the finished product. 

I hope you think twice before you throw

something away. There is always

another purpose for those

certain pieces of  "junk"

~ Enjoy your day, and

have a HAPPY weekend ~
