It was John Next Doors turn to produce some goodies to play with and here they are.
A 12 x 12 sheet of Core-dinations, patterned paper, ribbon, rope, gems and a card tube which I have cut into 3 on this pic, (I only just remembered in time to photograph the goodies).
Here is what I came up with -------
I painted the tubes with Acrylic paint in different shades of brown, even though 2 of them look the same colour.
I used some Docrafts paper from a goodie bag last year to make some flowers using Marianne dies.
Also put some on the base which is a very sturdy piece of cardboard, inked around the edges, matted and layered with brown card and paper.
Tied ribbon around two of the tubes.
I used a X Cut punch to make an border on the paper and wrapped around the top of two of the tubes.
I then decorated up with strips of Coredinations card, gems in the flower centres. And I even cut the edge from the paper which said 28th Street market, which I thought looked good. I tied the rope into knots and stuck on the corner of the base.
Just think what you could do with things like this. You could paint the tubes in any colour, to suit your partners desk, or have them in your craft room to hold your pens/pencils etc, in the kids room, suggestions go on and on.
