those were created as part of an entire 'story' for my mantel...
in this post i'm sharing the second element, a honey pot -
and the easy, clever way i made that honey look SO realistic!

this project is a re-use of something i first created last January -
i've just changed it a bit and added to it. i love re-making old projects!

so when my brain comes up with an idea for using said scrap paper
(usually at 3 in the morning)
i have a stash on hand that i can dig into, and it costs me nuthin'.
and you all know how i love making art & decor with everyday stuff!
in December, i shared a wreath like this made from old Christmas cards cut into circles.
this time, i cut paper into heart shapes - you could certainly make a heart-shaped wreath, too!
i even brought out a piece of paper that is one of the most valuable i have:

but it's my fave part of this wreath!
the inspiration for this technique was inspired by two projects from last fall...
and by something of my Mom's that has always been in my life.
