Making things out of unconventional and unexpected materials is pretty much what we recycled crafters are all about. This cute little bud vase is made out of a scrap piece of 2×4 and something that I bet not too many crafters have worked with….are you intrigued?
I thought I’d try embossing that freshness seal that comes on the top of canisters of things like coffee creamer. It feels like a combo of metal and plastic.
As you can see embossing powdered coffee creamer lids works great with a Crafter’s Companion gun metal (diamond plate) embossing folder.
In addition to the diamond plate I thought I’d decorate my wood block vase with my favorite letter “Y” that I die cut out of black cardstock using Leonie Pujol letter set.
I die cut the letter area out with the largest Die’sire mixed media tag die.
To make the vase part I drilled a hole in the top of the wood block the same diameter of a straw.
Then to hold the water in I sealed the end of the straw with a bit of hot glue.
I glued the embossed creamer lid, die cut letter tag, a bit of ribbon and a pearl bead onto the wood block vase.
Then all that was left to do was pop out to the yard and find a flower to put in my new recycled vase.
