I just couldn't resist extending our Endless Inspiration Week feature just one more day, so that I could share this fun little altered project that I put together for the booth for CHA!
Altered Wooden Spools, by Stephanie Hunt.
This random alterred project actually came together after I realized the wooden spools I bought for the Designer Tapes display (for the CHA booth) were much too small.
I went back to the store and purchased larger spools for the product display and made this frame for the booth.
But, I had all these miniature-sized spools left over and wanted to create something with them. I started playing around with my hot glue gun and & Designer Tapes....and whalaa, these itty-bitty photo holders were born. I created a family of them.
Some are soley for decoration and others have clothespins attached to the top that hold wallet-size photos, or notes/tags.
They're so easy and fun, and make great handmade gifts for creative friends or teachers too! I've put together a brief tutorial on my blog, so be sure to visit today.
Supplies:
Designer Tapes: Red Dot, Pony Dot, Pink Stripe, Teal Stripe, Pickle Juice Dot, Orange Stripe, Pink Flowers, Yellow Chevron, Gulf Dot, Piggy Pink Stripe, Pickle Juice Chevron, Blue Gingham, Punch Chevron; Stick Pin Flags: Thank You’s, Love, Baby Girl, Bugs, Girl, Home Sweet Home, Boy, Baby Boy
