Recycled Project: My Tools Container

I'm back!

I wanted to show you a recycled project I made last night to hold some of my crafting tools.
This project was inspired by a very talented and good friend of mine, Jein, of Hush Potato. 

Here take a look:

Materials used: 2L bottle, cutter + scissors, ribbons and some glue.

As instructed, I cut the bottle using my cutter (be extra careful in doing this cos there's a risk of getting your fingers cut either by the bottle or cutter) and attached some ribbons on top to add some design and to cover the sharp portion of the bottle. 

Due to lack of some materials, I decided to do something made of clay for it's main decor.

I didn't know what to do at first cos of my missing mojo but I'm glad I still ended up with this...

I made this using Nendo polymer clays, Nendo liquid clay and applied a dash of mica powder.
I love using Nendo polymer clays especially when I'm making flowers cos the petals are super flexible and the project much more durable.

For the liquid clay I used it this time as highlighter... This is also the first time I tried using it to attach one clay to another -- and mind you, it works so well! I can't wait for my blank pen tips to arrive from Purplenook... I've lots of projects in mind that I wanna try using the liquid clays! 

And here are the photos of the finished recycled project:

I experimented by stringing some beads to it too... better?

Tada! A new and bigger container!

What I love about this container? Not only is it able to hold all of my sculpting tools, I also find it more convenient to use every time I am working with my clays!

Plus it's much more cost effective and Earth friendly too! ☺

Thank you so much Jein for the tutorial.
