Projects & Ideas : Friendship in a Bottle

I call it 'Friendship in a bottle'. This friendship tag is made of fabric and placed inside the bottle. I grouped together some threads and braided it to embellish the tag. The message on the tag "Friendship warms the heart' is printed on a silk fabric which I printed from my inkjet printer.  

"Friendship in a Bottle"

Recipe for Friendship

At the back of the tag and also printed on a silk fabric is a recipe I found for friendship which you can find below :
* 2 cups of loyalty
* 2 tablespoons of honesty and a dash of patience
* 2 heaping cups of laughter
* 1 tsp of kindness
* 1/2 cups of companionship

1. Mix well
2. Bake in a warm heart
3. Serve generously
4. Thanks for your friendship!

What a great way to make use of those idle bottles in the garage. If you are looking for great cliparts to make this kind of project, click on any of the links below :

Another recycling in my creative life?

Guess what I have been trying to collect the past few months. Rice bags. It takes a while to collect them as each bag holds 5 kilos of rice and everyone knows how long it would take to finish 5 kilos. Here are the bags I have collected so far -

I should be able to use these bags very soon and at the same time continue collecting them. I look forward to re-using these bags. Watch out for what I can create with them.
