Sparrows Gift Card Holder
Well, it’s the last day and my last post so I decided to end it with another gift card holder adorned with three sparrows circling. I choose the design because I wanted to do something with sparrows, but I wanted to do something different. They’re circling because they’re imitating the famous recycling symbol with the three arrows. They’re also a symbol of all that I’ve learned from thing-a-day, the most important lesson for me being the reuse of existing materials to create something brand new and seeking out already recycled materials for craft. For example, the back of the gift card holder is made of ecospun felt made from recycled plastic bottles. I never would have noticed or sought out using this type of material had it not been for my experiences this month and the other posts from others who’ve crafted with recycled materials. I’m inspired and viewing the world with new eyes. As I look at something I might have simply tossed away, my mind flurries with ideas of ways to reuse it.
Thing-a-day changed my life for the better. I’m glad I got to experience it with all of you. I’ve learned so much everyday. So many posts, so many ideas, and everyone is inspiring
I’m even planning on opening a shop on etsy in late March. Hope to see more of you there.
