Altered Pringles Tube

Good morning dear readers and welcome to my blog!

Today's project is a major recycling one with the main altered item used being a Pringles tube (BBQ flavour, if you're interested!).


I used the following materials / steps:
  
RECYCLED ITEMS USED: Pringles tube for the body of the project. Tub lid for the base. Reed diffuser bottle lid for the top. Brown twine from my Pa's shed! Rolled roses made from old book pages.

IMAGE: Buttonbox Fairy "Maggie" from That Craft Place. Printed on That Craft Place watercolour cardstock and coloured with DoCrafts Artiste Watercolour Pens.

 PEBBLES: Air dry clay, acrylic paint, gesso.

THAT CRAFT PLACE MDF / GREYBOARD: Greyboard cog.

OTHER PRODUCTS USED: Flowers, lace, leaf ribbon, patterned papers, flat back pearls, gem spray, Distress Ink, Mod Podge, Glossy Accents, Hot Glue, Pinflair Glue Gel, heavy structure gel, acrylic paint, stencil.

All products available from That Craft Place (except the recycled items!... although Lisa can source or make just about anything so I wouldn't be that surprised if she had a Pringles tube kicking about!!)

    Sam This is so pretty and would never have guessed that it is made from a used Pringles tube, how very clever of you. Love your attention to detail and you have done a wonderful job on this. Sorry this comment is so late in coming but want to thank you for sharing your lovely piece with us in the May challenge over at Recycle, Re-Purpose & Re-Invent. Look forward to having you join us again
