Recent additions to the Crafting Stash - Part I
I’m not feeling remotely creative, but I can’t stop buying crafting materials. So, to buy myself some more time before actually making something with them, I’m going to show it all off. I’ll show a few today and a few tomorrow and if any brilliant ideas for using them come to mind, do share!
Call me narcissitic
I could not resist these alphabet buttons. They are adhesive, which is a bonus-no need to fumble around with glue or those handy tiny adhesive squares. I see myself using these buttons on a card or in a scrapbook. I’m not a big fan of bumpy things like that in a scrapbook because they can sometimes damage (create indents in) photos that you have on the facing page. These buttons come in quite a few colours and would look cute on a baby themed card (in pink or blue).
If these clips don’t scream “scrapbook”, then I’m not a crafting slacker. Again, I don’t see them inside the book, but on the outside. I think they’d look especially cute on a miniscrapbook, perhaps holding a sheet of paper or a photo that depicts the title or theme of the book. These clips are pretty small and come in some other colours too: a bold pink and blue, but also in more pastel colours.
I saved the best news for last: I found these items at the dollar store! I wasn’t kidding when I said that the dollar store is becoming the new “it” place to buy crafting supplies. Sure, some things are tacky and cheap looking but as reader Sherry said, “Even things that aren’t “good” quality can be made to look expensive depending on what you do.”
