February brings a new month of amazing creations over at Altered Eclectics, you really should take a look and see what the team have made from 'rubbish'. You can enter anything altered/recycled as long as it's not a card or an ATC.
I have used some glossy pictures from my local supermarket magazine and made Kusudama flowers. Each flower has five petals, each one made from a square, folded, glued together and then glued around a florist wire stem. Some use hot melt glue but I use Cosmic Shimmer PVA, it's so strong my husband mended his desk with it last week and it's still standing!
I love flowers in my kitchen but they don't seem to last long, this way I have something colourful that lasts, even when neglected!
There are some great ideas for empty coffee tins over on Altered Eclectics, come and join in the recycle fun.
I would like to enter my flowers in the following challenges:
Your bouquet looks fabulous
