Crafting and recycling again

Mum bought a dozen of these really ugly brown plastic saucers with a side handle many, many years ago, for reasons she can't remember. They have been lying in the cupboard ever since, barely used. So I asked her to give them to me and she was happy to do so. I used them to make some Christmas decoration: see below.









As always, apologies for the quality of the pictures. I'm really not a good photographer.

Aaah they're adorable! My favorite is the blue one with the white snowflake bauble

I like that one, too. The fortunate thing is that I've got every one of these motifs in at least two different colours, so the combinations are practically endless. Plus, since the whole thing is glued on, not sewn, they are relatively easy to make.

Ooh, yes, that's nice! I'm looking forward to pics of more creations then.

You can make amazing things with very little - and a bit creativity.

They look pretty.

They do, don't they? And I did nothing else but combined some decoration stuff that has been collecting dust in the cupboard for years.

Creating beauty reconciles me with the universe, which is sorely needed sometimes.
