Sudden Rush of Ideas

Art ideas for recycled items and hand done cards for the family to enjoy.

Well everyone, I am so glad the triptophan zombie has left my brain. I ate turkey till I was unable to walk and then some cake. Why did I have to eat the cake?

Today is a fine time for all of you artists to dig out the card blanks (has them) and create something that will bring some joy to the people in your life. Card stocks can be used not just with the paint system, but you can do a collage of magazine art work and ad stuff.

I painted on old light bulbs one year and gave them as gifts. Unique and a recycle option. Red fingernail polish for the ends and wire wrap that end or the whole bulb. This is fun for the kids. I took baby food bottles and stacked them in the shape of a tree. use glass glue to secure them to one another. Take the lids and put a hole large enough to put a light in them. Use the little sparklers or whatever you have around the garage. Sit them in your windows and voila a great recycled item the kids will enjoy for years. Low voltage and hardly any power usage. The wires can be arranged in the back and covered with a tree shaped cardboard.
