Recraft: Monsters

I hate for things to go to waste, especially if I spent hours making them. So I was excited when a friend suggested I donate the monster from Little Mister PaperCuts party to the school. The school happened to be having a back to school party and welcomed the décor. I put the monsters around the picnic and the kids got a huge kick out of taking pictures with them.

Re-Crafting: Centerpieces to Wedding Flowers

I’m all for saving money, reducing my foot print, recycling crafts whatever you want to call it.  Since I had an abundances of flowers left over from the bridal shower, I offered to re-craft the flowers into bouquets and boutonnieres for her bridal party. These were the original flowers.

 Some were skeptical, heck I was a bit skeptical but with the help of bouquet holders I was able to take the silk flowers from the shower and make these. I must say they came out quite lovely and saved us a hefty chunk of change. 

So what did we learn from this?  Before you go out spend unnecessary money only to discard something off to the side after your event, see if you can re-craft it!!!
