I dont know about you but I always have plenty of magazines and when I saw this cute idea a few years ago I thought it would be nice to share. Its simple to make by folding pages, once complete you can leave as is or spray paint, add glitter and a top.

I just love this simple crafting idea. I can remember making something similar with my grandmother when I was younger. Pinned.
I grew up so long ago, my family didnt do much in the way of crafts except I remember making doll cradles using oatmeal boxes using fabric glued on the outside and cotton for the mattress. Lol that was about it, so it wasn’t until I started raising kids did so many craft ideas come on the scene, no stores that carried crafting supplies.
Im old. haha

Cool! I made one of these a few years ago but I never thought to spray paint them. What a great idea!
I actually made them both ways, the one unpaintined was more festive. Thank you for checking it out!
