Papercraft Christmas Ornaments #DESTASH
During the pandemic, I bought some heavy duty filter paper to make masks but since I never looked to see if they were good enough to breathe in, for humans, I never used them. So they sat, these round 7 -8 " circles, in a big pile taking up space.
When I'm upcycling or trying to use up my stash, I often throw it, something to be upcycled , out into the studio, onto the table, hoping for a brainstorm.
And so that's how this idea came to be.
This round disk of paper was sitting next to a toilet paper tube.
I grab the two of them and say" Can I make you into an ornament?"
Behold, the ornament.
Check out what I did in this simple craft. You can use any paper you have at home but I do recommend something sturdy. Trace a circle 7-7.5" round. Mine was 7.25" and seemed to work perfectly with the size of the toilet paper tube.
See what's happening here? Now grab some of those papers you have from scrapbooking.
Cut the toilet paper roll to a size that looks right for your size circle.
Now , cut tiny slits along the side of the the cardboard roll so it slips over the round circle. See above. See below.
Now you can use your template to cut various decorative papers for your ornaments.
Hot glue the cardboard roll to the circle and also close the opening.
These are big and bold and just a happy addition to the holiday decor. Most of all, I was able to use up everything from my STASH. #DESTASH
Now I'm thinking disco balls for New Years. YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Happy New Year folks. Remember to pin this for next year's holiday season.
With love and gratitude,
Michele

Packaging Box Upcycle
I love this idea and can't wait to use it more often. It is not my original idea. I watched someone on Youtube make one. It may have been #CanterburyCottage, #OurGreenAcres or #OurUpcycledLife. If I can credit them properly, I will get that updated here.
I had volunteered to bring a gift basket of all my home made goodies to a Christmas party. Looking around my stash I found this box and remembered I could paint it (video I saw).
So I gave it a quick coat of chalk paint. Then I searched around for a piece of hardware to add to the front of the box. This is what really stuck with me. It really adds a little something different and I could use up some of my hardware stash. Hello I'm an upcycler. It's dangerous.
I put two holes in the box for the screws and attached the hardware and then secured it better with a layer of hot glue.
I lined the box with fabric from my stash. This is easy and doesn't have to be perfect. Cut a piece of fabric as long as the circumference of the box plus an inch or two more and as tall as the box plus at least 3-4 inches. Starting in a corner fold down a hem and adhere it to the top corner.
Now line the top of the box with a few inches of glue and continue adhering the clean finished edge, (folded hem), around until the box is lined.
Cut a piece of cardboard to fit inside the bottom of the box. Now cover that with fabric. It's easy to do this by using hot glue.
Lay that inside the box . This pulls all the fabric from the sides and makes them looked more finished.
Once you do this, the lining is complete.
I added a shabby bow.
And then stuffed it full of creative gifts. Mostly with a Coastal theme.
A mermaid ornament , a mermaid oyster shell, a seashorse switch plate, a vintage moon mixed media bookmark a gift tag amixed media tag , a Christmas door hanger
Just a little holiday fun. Hope you found some inspiration.
With love and gratitude,
Michele
