Eye Spy: Something I want to make

right now its all about recycling paper scraps - i tend to keep most of my paper cut offs...as most of my paper goods are collage style I hate throwing away anything - I have them all stored in a box
so I'm always looking for new things to make with them!

spotted this beautiful magnet project by
Tara Anderson the other day - they look amazing and I do love Tara's style and aesthetic. you can see her instructions HERE

I also spotted these on Leah's blog -

'sweet as lollipops' handmade by Petrina for her upcoming market stall - So wonderful !!

loads more simple project ideas HERE ....so many things so little time!

These are wonderful ideas. Thanks so much for sharing them with us. My husband bought me a gorgeous sewing machine for Christmas last year and I haven't learned how to use it yet. I so love the look of the stitched paper. I really need to just take out that machine and play!! : )

They look like great projects. I wish I was better at keeping paper scraps. I try keeping them for awhile but then sometimes I will just chuck them in the recycling bin.

Such cute ideas! I really like the owls framed piece!
I know this post is about finding things to do with your own scraps, but I have to mention that I have some scraps & extra paper destash in my shop if you need more. :)
