This was a challenge that took me completely out of my comfort zone. We were to have someone (Hubby & Son) pick 5 items from our crafting stash, and then put the items in a box. We could use a hot glue gun, paint & ribbon & must use the 5 items from the box to make something.

My guys chose some wooden blocks, some wooden shapes that look like flat thread spools, a set of miniature china, a small stretched canvas & some plastic ‘crystal’ shapes.

The first thing that I did was to paint the wood. It’s a habit of mine to seal the wood & to prime it if I decide to paint it a different color.

Then I started to arrange & glue the items together. What I came up with was something that looks like a miniature tea party.

This was such a fun challenge for me. Like I said, it completely took me out of my comfort zone, but it really got my creative juices flowing.

Happy Creating everyone!
