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.
