Recycled/Upcycled

 I used a lot of double sided tape and I wanted to used the empty rolls for something. I paper-machied the rolls together and then die-cut a circle of cardboard for the base and paper-machied that as well.  I then applied a couple of layers of gesso and then acrylic paint.  The containers were then ready to decorate.


I also found some pictures of a previous project in progress, using double-sided tape refills so have included those here as well.  Hard to believe the transformation!

I applied a flower themed napkin (serviette) to the side of the container using Mod Podge.  I printed out the image from Crafty Sentiments three times, then coloured with copic markers and added them to the container equi-distant apart.  I added some butterfly stickers as well.
