Talk about marathon crafting, this is what me and Mum got upto on Saturday at a two hour workshop.
Take an empty tube of tomato purée. Cut it open, wipe it clean, use the inside to create a lovely card.
My tomato purée tube card
I made a flower key ring with a cut up drinks can
And here’s my Christmas star made from a foil pie tin.
A lie down was needed after haha.

I remember doing tomato paste embossing with Paddy a few years ago. What happy memories your pictures brought back to me.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you and your mum had a great time.

I love embossing on metals a great way of recycling our throwaways. Looks like a lovely work shop, sweet little makes.

Well, those are just clever, I love them all! The card and star particularly appeal though, you'd pay loads in a shop for those!

ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

ReplyDeleteI love the drink can flowers! I have made several of those in my time. I would have needed a nap after all that work too!

Fabulous work Lynn, I can hardly believe it's an old tomato paste tube - an amazing transformation. How lovely to share the workshop with your mum, sounds like you had a great time.

Your tin works are wonderful - I absolutely love the texture of the tomato paste tube, works beautifully in an embossing folder. A bit like Mr Dunnit really - very manipulable!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! No one would guess where the materials came from for your lovely projects. The embossing is beautiful and the key ring flowers are very pretty. Upcycling at its best. Elizabeth x #21
ReplyDeleteWonderful projects, love these to bits. Wishing you a lovely creative week and a happy woyww x16x
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! I can't believe you've created them with a tomato puree tube. I'm eyeing up the one in the fridge and wondering how long it'll take to use it up! x
ReplyDeleteHi Lynn, great job with the tube, I've read about that before, just never got around to trying it. Love what you achieved.Feeling a little better again today, slow but sure improvement. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz#2 X
