A little bit of recycling has been going on here, can you tell? Or it could even be considered as a bit of upcycling perhaps (a word I only discovered this year and rather like!)
As we've been making lots of these...
We've had lots of these to spare....
And when washed and gleaming they were too nice to put in the recycling bin - I wanted to use them for something. So I cut up some pretty craft paper and covered the tin using double sided tape. I added a strip of adhesive ribbon round the top, and a pretty little flowery sticker.
You could cover the tins anyway you liked, and add all kinds of embellishments and then fill them with lots of crafty things - or even lollipops!
Before I go and start stitching on today's project I must just show you these gorgeous corsages made by the very talented
Ginny and available from
sweetmyrtle now. I love the two I chose and have been wearing them a lot on my bag or coat. (The package also included these adorable little handmade cards as an extra treat - what a lovely surprise - thank you Ginny!)
I wish you all a wonderful week and lots of crafty happy times. x
