Look Mom, no paper!

Welcome!

Have you ever looked at trash and thought "Gee, I could make something out of that!" ?

Back in December after opening all those wonderful Christmas gifts, one box really stood out. The clear plastic front was twice as heavy as normal and didn't have many scratches, so I just had to save it :)

Well, I finally got to put it to good use this week - along with some left over paint that came with a "paint your own ornament/suncatcher" kit! You can't get more green that this project!

To start with, knowing I was going to emboss I coated my plastic well with some embossing magic powder, then stamped our new Spring Flower Suncatcher using Stazon Jet Black ink. I heat embossed it using clear powder and then I was all set to paint.

Using the leftover "glass" paints, I let the paint drip off my brush to fill in all the sections and let it dry for an hour or two. After cutting it out (and cutting the center section out too) I added a hole in the top, attached a jump ring and some yellow ribbon.

In no time I was hanging it in a window to take a picture!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to check your trash!!!
