Waste Not...Want Not...

Hi folks...today I'm sharing some cute gift bags I made for this month's Colour Challenge over at the Ribbon Girls.  When I receive my DT parcel of goodies...I always check if I have anything left over from previous kits that will match this month's colour theme and found this...
you know what us crafters are like...we can't bear to throw away even the tiniest bit of paper ribbon or lace and voila...a pretty pillowbox gift box made from almost nothing at all...


Hugs Kath xxx

  5. Beautiful Kath, and yes its so fabulous to use up the scrap little bits, its a satisfying smile you give yourself. I recently did a set of mini gift cards using the left over little holly leaves and a spare robin from making my samples. I did a little happy dance at how ace they looked and with just scraps :D
    hugs

  6. Utterly gorgeous collection, and you are so very right about not throwing away even the tiniest scraps. And now that you've proved what lovely creations those leftovers can turn into, I suspect I'll be even more reluctant to throw any small pieces away! x
