I hope all of my friends in the US are enjoying their labor day weekend. My hubby and I are still working on the remodel of our kitchen. We did go out with our friends last night to have some Maryland crabs. That was fun!
Challenge #41 is a little more challenging, you need to use a non-craft item on your project. This idea came from my design team sister Christina.
My project isn't that difficult to make but anyone who uses svg files will appreciate it. Warning there are a lot of pictures so please grab a cup of coffee or tea cozy up and stay with me for awhile.
When cutting svg files, I have discovered that there are always teeny tiny pieces such as eyes, beaks etc. I learned the hard way that these tiny pieces can get lost very easily. I was working in the craft room one day with the door shut. My little neighbor came over and opened the door, all of the little pieces when flying everywhere. So I made a little can to hold all the tiny pieces.
I used owl paper because owls are a big theme in my craft paper. I used a short Pringles can that I cleaned first. I measured the paper to fit the can, mod podged the back of the paper and attached it to the can and let it dry.
I attached an owl flair on to the plastic top.
Here is a project I am working on right now. As you can see I put all of the beaks, claws, eyes and other tiny cuts into the owl can for safety. I don't have to worry about losing them.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Please go to International Art & Soul to see what my design team sisters have made and then play along with us! I can't wait to see what you make!
I am entering this project into the following challenges:

Great idea and your container is adorable
ReplyDeleteI love the owl paper and your Pringle tub looks great. I used Pringle tubs a few years ago to make Halloween gifts for the children calling at my house and they loved them. Hazel x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely owl cannister. Great use of those Pringle tubs. Yum those crabs must of been delish, huh!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea! I use a plastic tray I picked up in a charity shop for die cut bits, but that only works well if you're going to use the bits quickly. Your idea keeps them safe even if you have to leave for longer. Very decorative too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous up-cycling Chriss.I have a growing stack of Pringles cans awaiting their turn in my craft room!!!
ReplyDeleteSo clever and gorgeous!! I love the design!! The owl paper is too cute!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)
