Armed and Dangerous!

I recently ordered one of these little gadgets for a bargain price -




and now I'm a woman on a mission to see what crafty things I can glue the life out of!



My first victims were these kitchen caddies which, pretty as they are, are sadly a little lacking in the airtight department and they let the biccies get soggy and the coffee get slightly damp.  Rather than throw them away I though that perhaps I could repurpose them for storage in the sewing room.


I found this lovely button ribbon which was the perfect width for covering the tea and coffee labels on the tin. The after heating up the glue gun, burning a finger or two and covering the sewing table in angel hair glue strings(!), I now have these lovely habby storage cannisters!

Now, what else can I stick?

  6. Oh let me know what ideas you come up with. John just bought one of those to fix the kitchen drawers that are disintegrating. I could use it when he wasn't looking!
