I did this simple project with the kids the other day and they turned out sooo cute. I cut pieces of cardstock the size of an open matchbook, folded a lip at the bottom and inserted a few pieces of cut copy paper squares, punched a tiny hole through the lip and pieces of paper (i bought a special small punch at Michaels) and insterted a scrapbook binder clip (I got a package at the dollar store) and folded the top over to slip into the flap. Then cut some pictures out of magazines and glued them on the front, some I stamped witha cute "friend" stamp. The boys loved them and it was pretty quick.
We are sisters passionate for all things vintage. We love scouting for unique items and using our creativity to repurpose what was old into something new for a usable, one-of-a-kind piece. Many of our items are used in our home and we love to share our decorating ideas with you, but as we run out of space in our houses some our items we have to sell and make room for more inspiration to come.
