The Humble Tissue Paper

Tissue paper is often over looked in my craft box, its more of a condiment to the creations then a creation itself, but today was it's turn to shine so to speak.

The kids made there own tissue paper pom pom's today as it is to cold and blustery outside, my joints ache just at the thought and my hands are still a shade of pale blue, so whilst I kept myself busy with my own project for Miss Moos room so as not to interfere with there's, they created and crafted away.

Once they were finished the tissue paper then become kites zooming about the house and parachute's with real army men attached dropping from the balcony upstairs.
Hours of entertainment. Phew!

Image is of my finished product hanging in Miss Moos room, looks quiet effective, and cheap enough to make for parties, or any occasion really .

Ever since these came out I fell in love with both their design and functionality, they fit perfectly in any room in the house as extra practical storage, show case storage for nic naks or just because there awesome. Those who know me well enough would just say I'm biased as I love anything wooden but when I seen this at the markets words need not be exchanged between Ron and I, just a single nod from across the parking lot. With the help of my loving hubby who has kindly offered to add another step, I'll sand her back with the care and tenderness she deserves, and varnish her once I'm done. Although this is a smaller version of what I would love to have in my house hold (to which my hubby confesses he has at his parents that he built in tech during high school ) I still see so much potential for photography session, pot plants, herbs, smaller lounge room, bedroom, displays, front door shoe stool, so many uses....
