Crafty!

[partly]

I decided to be a bit crafty today, so I decorated my receipts box. It was just a brown box that we toss all our receipts in, but I thought I'd fancy it up a bit. So I took some old comics I had laying around and gussied it up. Nothing fancy, just panels from the comic books and some mod podge. Still, I love how it looks.

Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig!


And just to prove that I'm not entirely insane: the comic book was a very old, extremely used copy. The cover was already gone and the staples edge was worn and torn. I will confess some momentary pangs of guilt in destroying a compete story that could still be read, but since I would never read it again and no one would ever buy it to read it, I got over it.

Mind, I didn't cut up one of the tattered cowboy comics I had. Or any of the Donald Duck ones. I may work up to those.

That's so cute! Nice job. :)

I think it's better to take the comic book apart and make something you'll see every day instead of leave it shut away in a box in the closet.

I agree with gorengal if you can do something fun with the comic and give it a new life, better than letting it molder aware unused in a drawer somewhere.

Very cute!
