Can you tell what recycled item is being used here as an ink palette? Yes, that is the humble baby wipe. I keep these everywhere, in the car, in the studio, in the garage, and even out in my storage spaces as things sometimes can get dirty and they are just great for a quick hand cleaning. I never would have thought of using them as a palette for rubber stamping. I include rubber stamped images in my mixed-media art these days and I can’t wait to try this tutorial on how to use a baby wipe for an ink palette featured at the blog Stamping with Blue Moon Creations.

How to make matchbook style packaging for all sorts of tiny things
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.
It is not recycling if you buy new materials, use them 2-3 times and then toss them out.
Yes I agree with you. I should have added that I then save these colored wipes and use them in collages, for packing material, and I have been known to dust with them or scoop up a bug. I have a giant Ziplock bag of paint covered wipes and paper towels that I use till the bitter end.
