Crafting on a Budget – Save Money & Give Back!

wool-731515_1280

Hello my fellow crafters! If you are a crafter, you probably already know that you can use just about anything to create something incredible. Sometimes we need some inspiration though. When I craft, I love using odds and ends to create something awesome. You know, trinkets that I have lying around. My craft of choice is scrapbooking, but sometimes I am inspired to do something more. My inspiration usually strikes when I am searching the sales in my local stores. I LOVE creating something beautiful with something unusual, specifically something that I got at a GREAT deal!

So, when I am shopping the clearance aisle, I typically don't have anything specific in mind. If it's super cheap, I will buy it and make it work! I always find something that I can use these items in. For example, door knobs. My boyfriend and I made a jewelry hanger with a piece of wood, paint, and a few door knobs. They are more like drawer knobs because they are super small. The knobs were cute and on sale, so I snatched them up and VIOLA! We made something awesome!
