2nd post of the day !

hiya , yes here I am again , here is a cute little pen and photo holder I made today for a challenge over at  The Tattered Ttag   ,and me n my thrifty ideas this challenge is  great fun . they tell you the 3 items to use and you can make anything you want out of them,go over and try it out you know you want to ???
this week the items are 
toilet roll holdrs
pegs
twine



so i covered the  toilet rolls in twine ,wrapped around and and around and used my glue gun , shaped them sort of like egg shape (cause it is nearly easter !!!) then i inked up my pegs for a bit of contrast and glued them upside down onto each toilet roll . i made little flowers from the toilet roll holders too and voila a pen and photo holder x
this is a boo hoo attempt!!!!!! and i will tell you why when i come back in about half an hour ... arrgghhhhhhhh

this is what they should be made of
toilet roll holder
pegs
burlap/fabric ....NOT  twine !!!!


 
thanks for looking
till later
happy crafting
