Reusing old paintings for pencil boxes
I'm all about recycling things, these days. I eat a lot of almonds, and save the container to reuse for holding markers, buttons, pencils, brushes, and bookmarks, not to mention many other uses! When I don't like the way a painting turned out, I add embellishments, and cut it out to the height of the almond can. Then I wrap it around the outside, and glue it down. There you have it! I just counted my almond containers that are awaiting covers. I have 30!! Do you think that maybe I love almonds????!!!!
