Egg carton makeover!

So, I have been crafting more lately...than "crafting." I think I'm in a rut and I know why. My "magical" space has not been setup yet. I know it probably shouldn't be important but sometimes it really helps when the atmosphere is just right and my special area is there for me. *sigh* It's my pure laziness. :) One of my resolutions seems to be taking a back seat. However! I am crafting! What do you think of an egg carton made over into a jewelry holder? :) And yes, this was the very same egg carton that held those beautiful eggs down below. :)


I simply did a little paper mache with decorative tissue paper. Punched holes on either end and tied beautiful delicate black ribbon on both sides and dotted the tops of the coned areas with black jewels.
Hmmm....I have another egg carton that will be empty soon.

  5. That is such a great idea.. And I totally understand about the "space" thing. I need to make my own space in all our chaos, but sadly, it does take a back seat.
