Cell Phone Charging Holder
Hello everyone! I have a fun recycling project to show you that I did for the Fantabulous Cricut's Save The Earth Crawl challenge. The challenge is to make a project using a recycled item.
I have just recently started an account with Pintrest! OMGosh! It is so addictive, but you find some of the coolest things. That is where I found the idea for my project. You can see the full tutorial HERE.
I made a super cute charging holder station for my cell phone. I started with an empty lotion bottle and cut it into the holder shape. I found it easiest to cut by first starting with an x-acto knife and then with scissors. In the original tutorial she used fabric to cover her holder, but I used paper to cover mine. I did this with glue and decoupaged it. The hedgehog was cut from Live Simply and I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen Wide Eyed and Bushy Tailed face. This was super fun to make and oh so simple! Now my cell phone has a place to rest and without cords hanging out all over the place.
I just love making things with recycled items, the possibilities are endless. I hope you liked my project and thanks for looking! Have a great night!
P.S., as a side note, you might have noticed that I changed my blog AGAIN. This is because I was getting warnings that Shabby Blogs was full of malware. Anyone else have this happen? So I changed it to the fist thing I saw and it will stay like this until I figure out what is going on! LOL!
OMG!!! This is soooooo cool! U did an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! This is AMAZING, Gigi! With a grand baby running around the house, we have plenty of these bottles to use. What a wonderful idea!!! LOVE, love, love it!!
ReplyDeleteI SO need one of these. What an AWESOME idea and SO super cute. I had to change my blog too because I got the same malware warning. I just went with a generic blogger background for now. UGH. I like what you chose for yours. Hugs- Glora
ReplyDeleteOh good golly...this is too stinkin' cute! What a great idea! I love Pinterest also and could spend HOURS on there looking at all the fun stuff! By the way, I love what you have going on with the new look. These colors and patterns are really pretty!
