Recycled Kraft Project …

Hi there, wow the weather sure has changed drastically this week hasn’t it, it was so wild last night, I’m hoping its not setting the scene for as wild a winter.

I’ve been looking forward to sharing this project today. I created it a few weeks back for the autumn edition of Sarah Hurley’s Lookbook (volume 5).

This project came about because I could see the potential of some protective packaging I kept hold of when we had some free standing radiators delivered. These stacks of cardboard that concertina into a four fold mini book were undamaged (despite protecting the corners of the radiators) and a perfect size (each page/panel is 9 x 14 cm) to craft with.

The concept of the project came about after I made a couple of the Doodle Dolls (Dream a Little Dream Stamp Set). I stamped them onto plain paper, then also onto a selection of patterned papers and cut out the hair and dress sections separately to paper piece them onto the plain stamped image.

You can see that that I have attached a couple of small usable mini pegs to clip two dolls to the project at a time, however three other dolls are stored in the kraft paper pocket. Depending on the day I can swap which dolls I have on show.

There are so many possibilities for this idea, the dolls could have days of the week or numbers on them to act as a calender. Maybe co-ordinate the dolls with your favourite colours / outfits. Could be fun to an entirely different colour range.
For more information on the details of this project head over to the Sarah Hurley 365 blog.

Thanks for visiting today, and I look forward to returning your visit and seeing what you have been making lately. x
