I have never been a waster, guess its part of being poor! pinching pennies is my lifestyle! So i may not be as green as some would like but i am creative with my Green!
I have been saving containers, both plastic and glass to store my beautiful scrapbooking embellishment collections.
This first one is for my large flowers. I took some old christmas tins i've had for years and covered them with wallpaper that matches the wall paper i put on my cabinets in my scrapgarage!. i stamped some swirls and embossed them with copper. Then for each tins color flowers i attached that color flower with a pretty rhinestone brad. I spray painted the lids light blue which you wont see in the pics cause i hadnt done it yet. I quite like the way they came out!
