Share and Voice: Junking Project
I thought it would be fun to share a bit about my junking project. I decided to finally put to good use a bottle of sand I collected from the Nile River in Egypt. Along with dried hisbiscus flowers I bought in the market while in Egypt. I then found 2 jars in my garage, that were actually salt and pepper shakers of my great grandma's. I did have to purchase some ribbon though.
I originally wasn't looking forward to this project, but after I finished, I love it! I am really excited about my new bookends. I may even look for more items that I can "junk." I hope everyone else enjoyed their junking projects as much as I did.

Those are really cute. What a great way to put some of your memorabilia to use!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute. It is really creative how you can use them as bookends. I think it is great because now a souvenir that may have usually been tucked in a closet can now be on display!
ReplyDeleteClever! I've never really been to an 'exotic' sandy place but I know some people who have and I know they have bottles of sand that just sit in their rooms. When I ask them about it they often tell me about where they got the sand but mention they don't know what to do with them, so I will be sure to suggest creating bookends with them!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good idea! I am one of those people with sand in bottles just sitting around. I might have to make bookends out of them now.
ReplyDeleteLove what you did with these. I would have never guessed to make them book ends. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very practical idea, it is great because those items have some real meaning to you as well.
