CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#75) A good use for Empty Brad Packages

Hello Bloggers!

This week's tip is all about your empty brad packages.

You know the packages that have several wells in them because they often separate the brads by colors or styles?

Look to the right to see the packaging I am referring to----------

When emptied & turned upside down they can become a disposable paint palette.

They can also be used in a shadow box or drawer tray display. You can use strong adhesive to add little trinkets inside of the wells of the packaging and then adhere the entire thing onto chipboard covered in gorgeous paper.

I am sure your crafty minds can come up with more uses, these were just 2 that I have found for them in past projects.
Tune in for tool time Tuesday tomorrow.
Have a wonderful week.
