Now on with the hop!

I am having fun with up-cycling lately.  Sshhhh, this one is for my sister.  I was going to throw out this cheese grater it was cheap and starting to rust.  So I searched Pinterest for something to do with it.  My sister loves owls, so this idea was perfect.  I used some lids, glitter bottle caps, bead caps and glitter brads to make the eyes.  I added a Tim Holtz pen nib for the beak. 


I found the stick in my yard and used bead chain to create the claws.  The hardest part was manipulating the handle to make ears.  I glued it all together with hot glue.






Next up is Amanda, let's see what she has for a last minute gift.
