I always have some little projects going to keep me busy while I am waiting for my son at his piano lesson. I should probably be walking for exercise during this time but the conditions have to be just right. No rain, heat, not too much sun... Excuses, excuses.
Today I worked on using up some of my old designer paper as I have more on it's way. This is a great project to use those small scraps you can't seem to throw away. I used two different double sided paper designs and cut them in long 12" strips and rolled them up with my quilling tool. You could do this by hand but the tool makes it much easier, quicker, and tighter. Roll them up and drop them in a clear glass ornament ball. I give it a little shake every so often as I fill it. You could do this any time, while watching tv, etc.
What a great idea Joanne! And it validates buying more DSP...love it!
