Wire Strainer Cloche

I made the cloche from a kitchen strainer, added a knob and button to the top.

I have a birds nest in it for the photo, anything can be added to these even the frog!

 

Shreded some book pages and added some blue shreds in a granite pie pan!

Now for sale in my Etsy Shop!

Repurposing

A fun thing to do with old things not used or not needed anymore is to find new uses for them.

Here are 2 of my newest finds and repurpose.

 

A pink french fry cutter!

used as a reciped card holder

or

a salt and pepper shaker holder

Do you have any other ideas?

 

 

 

 

 Another item is an arched clipboard, used possibly in a store for receipts, now can be used as

a jewelry holder or tie holder or maybe scarves!

Heirloom Bears

These Teddy bears are made from coats that used to belong to a family member.

This is a way to cherish a family member and a memory using their coat and making a Teddy Bear, hence Heirloom Bear! 

 

I use as much of the coat as possible, bow is from the lining, and this first Bear is wearing a special necklace!

 

 

I named her Miss Pauline T. Bear

 This red coat had a great black faux fur collar, I made it fit and added a button from the coat. I added a red heart for the heart of the bear.

This is Miss Miriam T. Bear

Some Things at Booth 65
