I had the idea to recycle these ‘things’ I didn’t want to throw away into something fun. I had this nice stick and some bottles left over from the larger wall hanging I made a couple of weeks ago so, while I was on a creative streak, I began working on this.

First I painted my ‘things’ white on the outside and a vibrant blue on the inside. Can you tell what they are? Go on. Its easy.

Then I edged them using a gold marker. Have you guessed?

Then I painted shapes inside them using a white paint marker. Have you got it yet?

I poked holes in the bottom, added a white pearl onto a piece of wire and attached them by wrapping the wire around the stick.

If you haven’t guessed yet, they’re cut up egg cartons!

I randomly wrapped the ‘flowers’ onto my stick, added bottles with sea glass, dried grasses and sticks in them, a couple of old chandelier crystals to refract light and almost done.

To finish, I wrapped the entire stick with hemp string to hide the wires.

I think it looks pretty flash and I’m really happy with it.

This is what the corner of my living room looks like right now. I’m constantly having to rearrange what I have on my walls. Not enough space for everything… Must sell some stuff to make room… Time to get back to listing stuff on Etsy and Ebay…
