Ideas for Old Wallets and also Old Plastic Store Cards
By rachel
I have a two-fold idea for old wallets (you see so many at the garage sale tables) and old cards that you no longer use - (you know, the grocery store cards, etc.?)

I saw a baby wearing this type of sandal and thought they were adorable. Inexpensive to make and so cute!

One thing I love to do with my parents is pick up pinecones off our streets. My dad loves to analyze all the shapes and sizes, and mum likes to help come up with things they can be repurposed as. Here, we've turned them into little turkeys.

This is an easy and enjoyable stitch to work. It will also give your cowl a feminine and textured look. Easily made into an adult size by working more rows. :)

Did you know that magazine covers can be curled just like curling ribbon? I'm sure you have tons of magazines around. Get cracking with the strips of paper, scissors, and glue sticks. It looks fabulous especially when some are left straight.

My trivet measured 4 inches X 4-1/2 inches. You can buy the large assorted packs of beads for approximately $10, and there will be enough to make a trivet.

This is what I did using some of my remaining flowers from my cornucopia project, I still have some left over!

These cute night lights would make nice gifts or stocking stuffers. So easy to make that you'll want to make several. A good way to use up all of those short pieces of lace and trim leftover from other projects.
