What else you can do with Mini's...

I told you I had been busy working with these mini's. I have a box full of stuff to be altered. I bought it all years ago when I was a SU demonstrator so that I could give some thing special as a hostess gift. Well the business went south and until now I haven't had much of a need. But with the addition of just a few mini's in my collection (which I guarantee you will grow quickly)I have found some fun things to do with them. Please check out Diana's store, she is supposed to be getting those mini's in any day now and I'm sure they will fly off the shelves.

The first little altered item is a notebook with attached pen. This is Secret Tilda and she is not a mini. I have several of these little note books, but chose this pink one and make all these altered items in a pink theme...



Here is a little jar of lip balm - so cute with the Mini Fairy on it's top...



I must have bought 50 of these little key fobs and now I'm glad I did. They've been sitting in my box for so long, but now they have some hope....



Now the last project. There are 6 little bath ball fizzes in the box. I just made a belly band to go around it and they made my own paper flowers, glimmered them up with Pearl Glimmer mist and added a rhinestone to the centers. I used my new Tilda Vintage tag and added little Fairy Tilda and tucked it under the edge of the flowers.



I am going to enter my pink and yellow Tilda in the Magnolia-licious Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and thank you for all the wonderful comments you leave that keep me encouraged to continue crafting...

Blessings and Hugs,
Barb

    Hi Barb!
    What adorable little minis. You have done such a good job of them. My favorite one is the first one. The note book. Tilda looks super in those colors. How did you color her so perfectly being so small?
    Fairy Tilda looks gorgeous on the tag. Love them all.
