Quick Tip .....recycling/upcycling!

Quick Tips...

I have lots of things lying around that are proving useful in my craft work....things such as;

1. Buttons from old clothes - good for eyes & embelishments

2. Those annoying ribbon hanging loops you get in tops....CUT THEM OUT...they are great for
    accessorizing or using as hanging loops

3. Old tops/skirts/dresses....great fabric supply & patterns... I try to choose the smaller ditsy prints

4. Denim - tough and creates a great look when mixed with fabrics/felts

5. Zips - provides interesting edging (use one half of zip) or accesorizing

6. Patterns in the backs of old craft books...they can be used for different crafts too! for example, I
    have a lovely Sun Pattern in a glass painting book which I am going to try using for a felt craft
    project!

What have you got lying around that you could use?

Do you have any suggestions/ideas of what to do with them?

Share your Quick Tips here. I would love to hear them x
