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!
Sometimes it’s fun to make a quick and easy holiday decoration just for the day to make it just a little bit special. This project uses streamers but I bet any paper like recycled newspapers, packing paper, or anything else you have on hand would work. It is just about folding and cutting the shamrock shape. Pop on over to the blog Studio DIY! for the step by step tutorial on how to make a shamrock garland for St. Patrick’s Day.
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.
