leslierahye's 2nd Annual Earth Day Blog Hop

By
Happy Earth Day everyone!! leslierahye here filling in for my design team buddy Tristan while he is on a small break... Today is Earth Day and it is also my 2nd Annual Earth Day Blog Hop where we showcase upcycled crafts. AlteredPages.com is the perfect company to match with upcycling. Many products in the store ARE upcycled -- text pages from old books, music, unique one of a kind ephemera items. Then, you have yummy collage pages that you can use with these recycled items to create wonderful projects!!

Today I created napkin rings that would be perfect for a Mother's Day brunch. I colored book paper with Gelatos and Mod Podged them on to 1½" wide napkin rings. I used the  Mother and Child AP-1458 collage page to cut 2" squares backed by cardboard for the focus elements for the napkin rings. Another coat of Mod Podge and some Walnut ink added to the aged look of the rings. I hope you enjoy my project!

    Very pretty. You could use paper towel rolls or toilet paper rolls to make the rings and then add all of the paper.
    A lot of recycling. Nobody would know what the napkins rings were after they were decorated.

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
