Recycled Envelope Notebook on Etsy



Happy Tuesday everyone,
Check out the "My World" recycled envelope notebook on Etsy!
This was a fun and creative project for me to create  :-) I had collected so many envelopes, so I decided to use them to create a patchwork- like cover on the front of the notebook. God gives us resources, and it's good to find different ways to recycle and reuse them. The "My World" handmade notebook makes a great birthday gift! Please visit www.ruthiesgreetings.com to view/purchase my handmade cards!

Gift Decoration Created from Scrap Paper


 Hey everyone,
Here is a gift in which I used 1 inch strips of paper to create the bow and ribbon-like design. I will post a tutorial soon.

You may have received a gift box for Christmas and do not want to throw it away. I use my gift box to store my craft paper.

Places to Store Your Craft Supplies: Item Crates


When I am crafting, there are items that I need to use more frequently than others. This is why a packing carton is great to use. Electronics are usually shipped in these paper cartons. The cartons are similar to paper egg cartons. But, they do not have the egg crate design.

Places to Store Your Craft Supplies: Containers



Hey everyone,
I am always looking for ways to recycle and store my craft items. I had a facial wipe container that I did not want to throw away. So, I decided to turn it into my sewing box. It holds my buttons, needles, sequins, thread, and a bit of fabric. The container is small enough for me to carry with me to different places.

The great thing about this box is that the lid is transparent.
