Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Sister Diane over at CraftyPod goes to town cutting up old playing cards and turning them into some awesome embellishments. She also then shows how they can be used to make a tiny card-size journal or notebook using a layering effect. For those of us not playing with a full deck this is the recycling project perfect for us!
I seem to have an endless supply of tiny little things. I mostly pop them on a shelf and then occasionally clean the shelf off and everything ends up in a box. So this idea for making mini shrines or alters with recycled Altoid tins seems like a great use for all the tiny things I seem to collect. Pop on over to the blog Pixie Hill to read more about these recycled Altoid tin shrines and alters.
This is a good inspiration for my next art project. may be i can even do this with my nephews…
I have been playing with collage–also have quite a stash of playing cards. Your designs are exceptional.
