Hey There,
Thought I would do a little recycling today. Actually, I have been saving Oatmeal containers for a while and decided today is the day to recycle them into something useful after I tripped over them when getting something out of the closet (*@*!$&). You know how it goes, lol.
So today’s project is a spare toilet paper holder made out of an oatmeal container. The container will hold 2 rolls of TP. 🙂 I used the Stampin’ Up! set Mixed Bunch (item number 125537) and the coordinating Punch, Punch Blossom (item number 125603), Designer Series Paper and card stock.
It’s not everyday you see a picture of a toilet here on my blog, lol.
Let’s hop right into the tutorial. . . .
Using double sided sticky tape, taped 2 sheets of designer series paper to the oatmeal container so that it goes all the way around. The papers measured 12″ x 9.5″ each.
Added a coordinating designer series paper cut into 1″ strips on the bottom and the top of the container.
Traced the container lid on a piece of designer series paper and cut it out. I cut inside of the drawn line so the circle would fit inside of the ridge on the top of the lid.
Stamped the flowers using Baja Breeze ink on Whisper White card stock. Punched them out using the Punch Blossom Punch.
Stamped the center on Whisper White card stock using Crumb Cake ink and then punched them out using a 3/4″ circle punch.
Added a pearl to the center of the flowers.
Added a Soft Suede Punch Blossom Punch under each flower and pearls to the top edge of the lid.
Added a Crumb Cake Ribbon around top of the container.
And 3 flowers to the front. Here is the finished one.
Here is one made in different colors by my friend Max. 🙂
Great way to spend some time with a friend and recycle. 🙂
May your day be filled with smiles.
Until my next post. . . . . . . .
Hugs,
