Hours of Fun for Zero $

 I had some free time today, coupled with an itch to get into paper, scissors and glue.  In the way of the blogosphere, I happened upon a video on toilet paper roll "treat boxes".  As I want to treat someone who has been so generous, this project seemed ideal.  I fished 2 rolls out of the trash and away we go.  I have some Hawaiian block print fabric I bought after a trip (eBay!).  Rather than use designer paper to cover the rolls, I decided to use the fabric.  It was easy to work with, using fabric glue.  Typically, I spent lots of time fussing with how to frou-frou this simple little thing.  "Use the good stuff" was my motto.  I surely did; an old cord with tassel and beaded element along with an earring from Gramma.  But this project went through many iterations before it came together as you see it.  FINALLY done, I put my supplies away.  WAIT...I had another roll. 

I used the other patterned fabric that I had, some old crocheted lace, some old beads I had strung while practicing my wire wrapping, and some tiny shells Sis gave me.  Meh.  This needs something more.  Tomorrow.
