Sparkle Thots

I am waiting for the regular recycling guys to come deliver the new batch of recycling bags. I chucked out the previous bag on the stipulated date but I think they forgot that it was CNY and they never came to collect. So the husband lugged it downstairs to the green bin. There usually is at least a milk carton or two. We buy the Meiji 2 litre ones and I am freshly awed and inspired to try and create something magical with them.

Just look at these awesome lightings!

Of course I should stick to jewelry crafting… and not get my hands in too many crafty ideas. But these are so beautiful. Anyone wants my cartons?

Heads up from Shelterrific and Leah H.
