A Drink Carrier and A Challenge!

Hidey Hooooo!!!  So we are in the middle of our ROCKIN' AROUND THE CLOCK crop over at ACOT.  One challenge I host is up and live and I just got done teaching the drink carrier and upcycling class! 

Here's the page I did for my "Build-A-Band" challenge.  For details, click HERE.  You have until Tuesday to complete all challenges!


I made this altered drink carrier using Pink Paislee's "Soiree" line and some household items I found. 



I used some screen mesh as both an embellie and a stamp/mask.  I also used some bubble wrap as a stamp!  Who says trash has to be trash??  I definitely used "trash" and turned it into my own "treasure"!


Here are some close-ups to show the other sides.  The first picture is of the back.  Once again, I did some upcycling and used some screen mesh as an embellie. 


These two are of the sides.  I used the screen mesh as a mask and painted over it.  Then I dressed up the sides using some Hambly Washi tape.  Awesome stuff that is!!!
