May Arts Earth Day Blog Hop & Giveaway

 

Happy Earth Day!  The May Arts Ribbon Lady has challenged a few of the  Ribbonistas to get creative and find ways to use ribbon in re-cycle and re-use projects. 

Of course, you know the Ribbon Lady loves to give away ribbon, so there's a prize for hopping along with us as we share some crafty re-use/re-cycle ideas with you. 

If you arrived here from DeeDee's blog, you're in the right place.

I went through my laundry room closet and came up with a variety of olive, pickle and I think what may be a salsa jar.  The lids are long gone.

 

Then I hit the bathroom and scavenged a toilet paper roll.  I cut the cardboard tube in half and got to work...

 

 I challenged myself to use only the ribbons in my scrap bag plus one natural neutral and only the scraps in my drawer left over from other projects.  No new materials.

I added a bunch of flowers from the local grocery store and here's what I came up with.....

 

Pretty cute, huh?  I think these will be our table setting for all the patriotic holidays this summer.  Of course, we'll need to use some more toilet paper first.  ;-)  I bought a stash of red and blue bandanas to use as napkins about 12 years ago.  They're still perfect.  Just wash, press and re-use. 

 Ok....want to know what's up for grabs for commenting and hopping?  Check this out!

 

Make that 4 ROLLS of some of May Arts Ribbon most popular naturals.  Now it's time to check out the rest of team creations.  I know I can't wait!

Summer's Coming..at least I hope so!

Ah Spring....battling the last (I hope!) bout of coughing and stuffy nose for the last few days.  I've missed out on the spring cold for a few years so I guess I was due but my goodness, this one is a doozy.   Which is why I'm sooooo ready for summer!!

I've got a sunny summer project for you on the May Arts Blog.  Of course, there's a tutorial as well.   This last spell of winter is the perfect time to get ready for those lazy days at the beach or pool.

Grab a couple of cute towels and I'll show you what you can do with them!

 

 

I'll see you at the beach!  You won't want to miss this one.   Don't forget to leave me a comment on the May Arts blog!
