Well I'm back! Did you take me up on my challenge to use all those left over bits and make something out of them. That's right...it's time to repurpose! This is the pile I started with...
I had lots of goodies to play with. Some I used, some I didn't. I also added a few new ones like rhinestones and eyelets to the mix. My goal was to make a few tags. The result was 8 tags completed!! And it only took me about one hour to finish them. Take a look...
I really like how these turned out and to think I was just about to throw most of this "stuff" in the garbage! Here are a bunch of "closer-look" photos.
I hope this post convinces you to keep a "REPURPOSE" box. Fill it with the left over bits from stamping and techniques and with all of those straggler stickers, papers and embellishments. Now go and make some tags for all of those gifts you will be giving next month!!
