Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
I’m always on the lookout for pretty and simple ways to dress up paper projects. This folded band could be great to put on traveler’s journals and small handmade sketchbooks. I plan on embellishing it with a strip of washi tape. Pop on over to the blog Byopia Press fro the great step by step tutorial on how to fold an interlocked band closure.
I love vintage matchbooks and their graphics, they are such a cool little bit of history. Even the concept of a matchbook is dated as there isn’t smoking in public places. So repurposing the packaging format to hold all sorts of tiny things is such a great idea. Pop on over to the blog Reading My Tea Leaves to see all sorts of things you can package in a matchbook and how to make them.
Thank you for this great idea. I think it will work great for a bellyband on a card.
