Craft-Room Challenge - Recycle

Time for the latest Craft-Room Challenge and this fortnight it's Esthers turn to choose the theme, she would like you all to RECYCLE something - this can be either giving an old creation a new lease of life or starting from scratch using a recycled object (or both!!).

Our sponsor this time is Ali-Craft


For my DT piece I've recycled a tin can and a tag that I made in 2011 - I'm going to use it for my paint brushes.


                                                 

I covered the inside of the can with paper and the outside with a Gelli print, then I put a strip of tissue tape round the top edge of the can. I stamped some paintbrushes onto tissue paper and adhered them to the bottom edge of the can.


I carefully took the images of the tag and adhered them to can, I also added a couple of other stamped images.



The stamps that I used are 
The Stamp Bug for the paint brushes.
Katzelkraft for the rest of the images.

I'd like to enter my paint brush holder in the following challenges.
Katzelkraft - Anything Goes.
Altered Eclectics - Anything Goes.
Rhedd's Creative Spirit - Anything Goes.
