Crafting Tips

So lately I have done a lot of thinking about future tutorials to do and things to make, and the big thing that I need to start doing is SAVING a lot of certain items. So in this quick post I am going to tell you what to save and post up a couple links to blogs that have tutorials using those items! Lets begin...

#1. Paper Towel and Toilet Paper Rolls
Everyone has them then just throws them away!! Well I say NO! No more throwing away precious craft items! It is time we take a stand and create beauty from something that would otherwise rot at the dump!

#2. Corks
If your parents drink a lot of wine (like mine...) then you will be able to get a massive amount of corks in no time! Save some cork trees and make something out of them!!

#3. Dead Candles
You can ALWAYS remelt the wax and reuse it!! I mean why not? I save all my old candles, put the wax in an old folders tin and melt it.

Well I am getting tired, I have a quilt tutorial i'm writing up for the book so I better get to it! Check out those tutorials!!
