Recycled Paper Circlets

Isn't it wonderful what rainy weather can do for your creativity. I just bought a load of millinery flowers for a mass hat making session but instead of using them my brain turned towards some books that I had been planning get rid off. Now before anyone panics they were pretty common or garden childrens books, The City and Gold and Lead being a prime example. I've had it for many a year and have yet to find no's 1 and 3 in its trilogy so had decided to (late) spring clean my bookcases.

I've made paper garlands before, I have some over my bed and although my immediate thought was to make some to decorate the shop I had a secondary idea which was much more enjoyable.
Like any create person I have boxes and tins of *stuff*. Sweetie jars full of buttons, a box full of 4" pieces of lace and ribbon, a mix of seed beads and one off ribbon bows to name just a few. So I took out my scissors, cotton and a handfull from each of the above and set to work.

An hour or so later I had a delightful selection of recycled paper fancies, perfect for hair clips, brooches, ect..... The only trouble is I dont currently have a use for them, as I said to my sister who asked what they were for, "I only make them"

They would look sweet as table decorations come to think of it
