Description:

Wanna have fun and upcycle some everyday items.

Swap: send your one (1) partner a tissue box turned folio pocket. Include in the project one tag or journal card - more if you wish but keep it light and easy to mail. Embellishments should be flat and of quality. No sticker slapping. As if! The theme/style is sender's choice.

Follow this video tutorial from Chasing Paper for inspiration:

I can't do this one but the future ones sound fun. I'll be watching!

Love this idea!

Look for the square tissue boxes featuring soothing lotion, or "coolness" as inside the cardboard box is layer of what looks like "tin foil." Save this as it can be used to create a "mirror," put the oval frame over "the mirror" surface. I'm experimenting with using Duralar craft film to create "ghost in mirror" effect I saw at Disney studios.
Message me as I enjoy experimenting with materials. Keep safe!
