Recycle Canisters into an Adorable Mushroom Village

Over at Gingerbread Snowflakes, my good friend Pam has created some adorable Mushroom Canisters from recycled goods and stuff from her stash. Yes, that's right, I said "stash." I know I haven't said anything about it all month, since we had our whirlwind April Stash Bust month where all I talked about was stash, stash, stash. I still need to bring you a few more stashbusting highlights, actually, now that I'm talking about stashes again. But back to the mushroom canisters! Aren't they so cute? Pam made them out of recycled food canisters and a pattern from this ebook. Wouldn't this be a fun summer craft for older kids? [find out more about recycled mushroom canisters]

Project Estimate:

  • Recycled canister, on hand
  • Stash fabric, on hand
  • Stash embellishments (buttons, embroidery floss, etc), on hand
  • Scissors, glue, and sewing stuff, on hand

Total: FREE

    Thank you, Heather, for sharing my little “shroom” village! Joannie at Nini Makes – the e-book author and inspiration is like you – always coming up with great ideas for things I just have to make! Between the two of you my list is growing longer and I am getting further behind! :-)

    It didn’t take too much time to make these, they cost nothing, and their presence in my craft space inspires a smile every time I look at them!
