Right after I started posting the sewing month challenges at the beginning of the month, there was a very enthusiastic resurgence of interest in participating. I was oh so happy to have the extra blog posts that were not only incredibly creative but that didn't require me to think. So, I decided I'd open a second chance opportunity for those who learned of the challenge a little late. And I'm very happy I did...lots more creativity and a lot less brain activity on my part. I don't know what I'm going to next week when I have to start to writing on my own again!
Bee from the Wooden Bee submitted a fabulous project utilizing some pretty odd bits of trash. I sent her several round plastic containers that came from a gumball type machine, old clothing tags and the skinny part of a tie - yep, JUST the skinny part.
Bee made some fabulous decorative fabric balls, check 'em out:
You'll have to hop over to her blog to see how she creatively used the clothing tags.
Fun, right? Well stay tuned because I'll be posting a couple more trash to treasure projects this week and give you another chance to vote for a winner. This time, participants are competing for a $50 shopping spree in the Upcycled Stuff shop.
Oh and don't forget, voting for the first round of competition closes tomorrow. Be sure to get your vote in!
Awesome! Thank you for this opportunity! :)

DeleteThese turned out really cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I was excited.
DeleteThese are incredible, I would have just thought "trash" and put the stuff away. But these are SO not trash!! Great work, Bee!
ReplyDeleteThank you Madeline! I loved Upcycled Stuff's idea!
DeleteGreat idea for using those bubbles your kids get from the vending machines! And the ties that don't get worn. I am going to be doing this! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Bee's balls!!!
