Scraps, odd ends, and things you don't remember buying... (Challenge)

26th October 2012 at 02:02

You know them. Random items you bought because you had an amazing ideas but then forgot... Odd amounts of fabric left over from projects... or perhaps just recycled bits of cardboards and tee-shirts you just don't know what to use for.

This challenge is for you.

Look at the post above you, and challenge them to turn that item into something. (For example, turning their scrap cork into wall decor.) And then ask for a challenge with your own odd bits, describing them and/or posting a picture, and then person below you will come up with a challenge for you and post an item of their own... and so the thread will continue.

To start with, I have these foam doorhangers with the tops shaped like hearts... I don't really need doorhangers, so what shall I turn them into? They're roughly 10x3" (25x8cm).

Post a challenge and an item of your own and we'll be off ^_^

How about putting magnet on the back and notepads on the front to hang on the refrigerator. WITH embellishments, of course. You could use them as small gifts (I.e. neighbors, etc)

What about cut a slit in the top of them and hang them between hangers to organize your clothes? Like, to separate dressy shirts, casual shirts, skirts......?

What can I do with these tiny flowerpots? When I first saw them I had so many ideas, but now when I look at them I can't think of anything!

you can also make candle holders out of them maybe not such an original idea, but it would look nice as a centerpiece on your table, because you have multiple of them (for Christmas maybe)
