Of stickers and tins

[erratica.livejournal.com]

While reading an assignment my attention span snapped and I found myself looking around my room for things to do. I thought of my bag of bumper and other large stickers and grabbed that. In there I had a couple of bumper stickers that I had gotten for free during campus awareness days that I'll probably never use. So I cut the letters apart. I figure that later I'll think of some use for them. Whether it'll be a think-n-stick ransom note or an easy way to decorate a tin, I don't know.

I really like having all these random letters now. If you go to college or are ever in a place that has free stickers (rallies, fairs, political events, etc) grab some for your craft stash. I'm not the only one with a craft stash, am I? These have joined my cut up CDs, spikes, and other random gatherings :)

Monday night I cut apart my stamps so they'd fit in a recovered tin. Those things just beg to be filled. I have another one that's just been spray painted and I stuck my no-sew snaps in there. The recovered one is just covered in duct tape since one night I felt the need to do something with it and figured it was duct tape or running out to walmart to buy paint that would work on metal (I didn't know that acrylic would work then). I thought the addiction would just be for collecting and covering the tins. Little did I know it would expand to filling them, too!
