If you're like our family....you go through A LOT of cereal boxes. The funny thing is...we rarely eat cereal for BREAKFAST...it's more of a snack item around

No, we haven't left the country yet. We haven't even packed yet. It's just that I've realized a person can't really make any progress, pack...

Make a town inside a large cardboard box for a fantastic small world play time that uses the whole body! Such a great way for toddlers and preschoolers to play together indoors or outdoors. My husband told me I can only keep this giant cardboard box until the weekend, then it’s got to go. What’s...Read More »

Spaghetti creche (stable) The spaghetti was my daughter's idea to make it look like a thatched roof. We used hot glue to hold bunches of spaghettini in place, layering up from the bottom of the roof. The structure itself is upcycled from a cardboard box. The spaghetti is also useful for the feeding of livestock who have come to pay reverence to the holy family (notice Balthazar's camel preparing to make a light snack of that roof :) Great idea ~ msut try! #ecrafty

Upcycled cardboard shipping tube that I turned into a multi-media decorative box with handmade flowers. I used strands of burgundy felt to enhance the flowers, and decorated a wooden spool with lace and pearls for added interest. Great idea ~ msut try! #ecrafty

Berkeley checking out her new digs. Question: What do you get when you cross a cardboard box, a men's shirt, and a whole lotta shelf liner? Answer: A pet bed! And, no, that's not a very pathetic attempt at a joke. It's today's project. I said to my husband, Seán, that our poor little kitties needed a place to sleep after seeing them all huddled on top of our clothes dryer one evening. And, considering their destructive nature (there isn't a piece of furniture or a wall in this house that…

is without a doubt the biggest piece of art I've ever done - When the oldest moved into his own place a while back - he bought a quirky little [?] house that has [extremely] tall ceilings running down the middle – and I wanted to do a HUGE piece of mixed media art for his living room wall – and as with most of the stuff I do, I had to ponder it in my head a bit before I took the first step. First I had to have a general theme to think on - he’s into comics [the weird ones – ha; the ones I’m…

Upcycle those cardboard tubes (toilet paper rolls) with decorative paper. No one's going to know. ~Completed. Try folding the tubes in half and trimming the two open sides into very, very shallow hemicircles before folding for a different look (which I prefer!) Then leave a little extra decorative paper at these edges to fold over the top, so the wrapping still looks good when it's opened.~ Great idea ~ msut try! #ecrafty

This box is made with recycled cardboard and is painted with the technique of “pointillism”. The process of painting dots is called “pointillism”. It´s a technique of painting, in which small, distinct dots of pure color are applied in patterns to form an image. It is an specific style of brushwork used to apply the paint. It´s a very delicate and slow method in which the mind becomes still and quiet. I turn to this technique every time I feel stressed or restless and just love the way they…
