Recycling Experiment

Fill a sink with water


Add a cardboard box and let it soak





Then it will just all peel off - like material and when dry - gives you soft pieces to play with.

So I am playing making tags.



Just experimenting with textures, stamps, and layout. The button really is a vintage complete with the vintage cotton.

I haven't punched the holes in a couple of them yet as I am not sure if I want to layer them on top of something else.




The back of the label has label too!
