Gift Card Holder

I didn't realize I had been gone for so long. I got so involved with crafting, I forgot to blog about them. I need to work on getting caught up with my postings. I have always dabbled in decoupage, but nothing serious. I always used a white glue and water for my mixture. Then I came upon a site that is in my favorite links that shows work with Mod Podge. I thought to myself, what can possibly be the difference. Well, I bought a bottle and I will never go back. This stuff is fantastic. I am working with toliet paper rolls and designing ways to recycle them. So here is what I came up with. I took a toliet paper roll and a used dryer sheet. I used the Mod Podge and decoupaged the dryer sheet to the roll. I let it dry and then used dried flowers to decoupaged these to the dryer sheet. Hole punch on the side and some plastic bag plarn for ties, and I believe I have the perfect gift card holder. I think what encouraged me to do this was the price of gift card holders. I really love it..... I will get back to posting on a regular basis and bring everyone up to date. On occassion, I become a recluse and just need my space.
