Do It Over Designers -

It's time again for the DO IT OVER DESIGNERS to share a holiday recycling craft!

I bought a book at the thrift store and ripped it apart, with two craft ideas in my mind:

I used the book front only, and gathered a recipe card, some twine and a thin spatula.  

The recipe card was adhered to the book front with double stick tape:

I tied on a thin rubber spatula (for swirling the chocolates to create the "marbling"):

I adhered this to a red gift bag with double side tape and Elmer's glue:

I put the ingredients in the bag to prepare the Tiger Bark:

And the gift was complete!

I saved the spine of the book for the next project:

I glued it to a sturdy piece of cardstock, trimmed it even to the spine and punched a hole in the top:

I tied some fiber scraps through the hole :

Voila, a BOOK MARK!

Two projects from one book!

Now what to do with all the pages???

Thank you Ann from Apple Street Cottage, our hostess!
