We hope that everyone had a fabulous weekend! This week, we would like to welcome our newest Design Team member, Lisa Kisch, to the blog as our guest designer of the week. Here she is with her challenge:
In my neck of the woods we are going through a garbage strike, and so I am extra careful about what I throw away. Reusing packaging in craft projects is a great habit to get into - strike or not! I bought brie at my grocery store, and it came in a small balsa wood box. I knew there was something I could do to reuse this tiny wooden container. I decided to alter it to hold my daughter’s punched shapes for her art projects. It’s the perfect size for little hands, and it holds plenty of punches.
My challenge to you is to alter something that otherwise would have ended up in the trash bin. Not only will it be a creative challenge, you can also feel good about doing a little something for the planet.
