REUSING HOUSEHOLD TRASH + ALL TIME FAVORITES: THE BADASS ’90’S FAVORITE BANDANA!


Hi, there crafter 🙂 For the ones who are familiar with us we love making and we are inspired by all the R’s
#re-thinκ #reuse #repair #recycle #reducε #refusewhen it comes patterns of living. . . So, we rethought of our waste and our all-time classic favorites and here you go! A multi-purpose, -multi-case item for your needed uses! It could be your stationery, makeup, screwdrivers, tools and everything else  you wish to fit in there!


It could also be a great gift (GIFT4MORE) or even a crafting technique to use for commercial purposes, for example, on your online or traditional store. Whatever the case is…it worths checking out this DIY Upcycle!

2.flour 1 cup

3.salt a pinch


Blend together your ingredients in a small bowl. Pour in the flour, and add water, a bit at a time, to make a thick paste. Add a pinch of salt, and blend thoroughly. Your work is complete. You can use a brush to apply glue to your crafts.



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Use a string (maybe some fish string) to tie them all together, in order to secure further your construction


 


Let it dry. Under the sun usually, it takes 2 good hours
