Now we know what the Easter Bunny does in his "Off Season".
Lord Above, I am so grateful for cartoonists! They make life more bearable. Well, I leave political ones in my town out. I must say, some of them just make life harder to deal with!
We are getting some clouds from up north. Alas, no rain is in the forecast for the next week - just humidity.
California, the New Florida!
I'm going to read all my blogs and start to decorate eggs. Some are shells that will get more extensive attention for a new Easter Wreath. I'm going to make a re-cycled egg shell wreath because I am not willing to support the plastic industry in China. Bless their hearts, this is how they were made in the olden days.
Here is an old idea from Heaven Knows Where for a roll of TP and an empty tissue box just too pretty to recycle in the bin.
Crack open the side of an pretty looking (but empty) small-sized box of tissue, just as it is below. Taking a roll of TP, pull out the cardboard roll inside it.. Go ahead, just dig it out of there by crumpling it in on itself. It's easy. The tag of paper that comes out of it now gets pushed out the top of the box, where it used to emit facial tissue:
It looks too plump but believe me, the tissue will continue to collapse smaller as you work on finishing the project. It will fit nicely.
Now, just seal up the side you opened with some magic mending tape, and/or some little rolls of the same stuff, and you have a nice, small box of tissue way cheaper than the real thing; I use them for those weepy movies eyes, or fingernail polish removals jobs, or small jobs of any kind (teeny kid nose wipes, corners of Wolfie's eyes, etc).
This is an old idea that I claim no credit for, but my sister happened to have this lovely little box sitting on her counter ready for the re-cycle bin, so I UP-cycled it with this trick. She is saving them for me now so I can make a few more for other places "en la Casa."
Now I'm going to catch up on all my blog reading!

I have to try this.........it looks too simple to be anything else but true and terrific. Happy Easter
ReplyDeleteThese little boxes are fun to make, so I hope you do make some for here and there. I love most boxes,and am known to save many a one for Up-sycling.
ReplyDeleteThere's a new box I just got from a pair of Hands-eze type gloves that I'm flattening to make a pattern from to create boxes for hanging small gifts on a Christmas tree.
Also, if you notice, almost any box can be flipped inside out- and then reformed with all the adverts inside, leaving a nice easel like surface for artsey things. These are the sort of box that small electronics come in,sturdy little boxes, and can be re-cycled into a fancy gift boxes, or a lovely storage box. So, go have even more fun..... for almost free!
