I have some fine tipped glue bottles that need to be sealed with a long, stainless steel pin (bad design in my opinion, but that's what I ended up with). Fortunately, the person who gave me the bottles also included some of these pins, but they were loose in a jar and I knew they would get lost. first thought was to make a simple fold over case with card stock, but I knew that would also get overlooked if I didn't make it stand out. Out came my G45 papers from the Gilded Lily collection. Why not make it pretty, as well as useful? I decorated it inside and out, then used a doily stamp by Inkadinkado to decorate the inside. A bit of stretchy gold cord, recycled from a gift box, makes it easy to open and close.
Here is what it looks like inside the case.

What a clever idea, Karen, and so pretty, too! Thank you for joining us at Double Trouble #117.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! Very victorian feeling! Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)
ReplyDeleteKaren, how super clever to create a solution for your glue pens... and a beautiful one at that! I use the same glue. The extra pins came in a plastic ziplock bag, but I like your solution much better! Thank you for sharing your pin holder and creativity with us at Double Trouble for our "S'More" challenge!!! -Donna

ReplyDeleteKaren, although I'm a SU demonstrator, I do love me some Graphic 45 paper! Yours is so pretty. I know I have some in my hoarding collection, (I mean stash!) so I will be CASEing this marvelous idea as I have those bottles too. Thank you for joining Creative Creases. Karen, Design Team
