Eyelets, Ribbon, Paper - Oh My!

I am one of fifteen members of a blog group called “Eyelets, Ribbon, Paper – Oh My”. When the group was formed, we decided to take turns issuing challenges. Our first challenge was to recycle something you normally throw away. I used the bottom of a juice can to make a refrigerator magnet. I hot glued magnets to the lid to keep them in place and then sandwiched the foam, lid, and designer paper together with hot glue. To make use of the can, I cut the top off and placed the cylinder over a newly planted lily bulb to protect it from hungry bunnies.
I am pleased with my results but my entry pales compared to those submitted by my fellow bloggers. I encourage you to visit Jax Bean Stalks listed on the right of my blog and see the other entries.
