artful thursday...





girls. would you believe that these lovely "pockets" are created from toilet paper rolls???!!! so not my idea, but such a great one. i found it in somerset life...a creative tip from the creative queen becky shander. LOVE IT! and they are so easy to make.



gather toilet paper rolls. (suggestion. contact a custodian at your local school.)
squish the roll.
adorn with pretty papers.
sew up the bottom. or glue if you prefer.
punch a small hole on each side - on the fold.
embellish with all kinds of fancies!
add a wire handle and ribbon.
dar.ling.

i think this might become an addiction. seriously. give it a shot. way fun!!!!

now. last week, i shared my idea for a moo card book...well, i have it finished and jam packed full of moo cards and business cards, so i thought i'd give you a peek.









happy day!

  4. Lynn, I love those squished toilet paper rolls. And I adore your moo card holders. Are those for regular sized moo's or mini-moo's?

  5. Your paper roll pockets came out gorgeous. And your moo card books are just as lovely. I can tell that you're crazy-addicted to making things...just like me.
