Paper punch organization

Hi crafty friends!
  I have a new project to share!  I prettied up my ugly punch holder and am "tickled pink" with how it turned out!  It is a perfect way to organize all of my paper punches!


I grabbed my trusty hot glue gun and some fun grosgrain ribbon and went to work.  Look how cute & fun it looks now!!


Below is a VERY sad before...  Elephants are NOT my thing!  I picked up the elephant holder at TJ Max for around $9.00.  I knew I could bring fun life to it! :)


Blah, blah, blah to FUNKY!  I LOVE a good before & after!!!


Thank you so much for stopping by!

Hi Jill,
Thanks for linking up with me today! Love the redo of your punch holder. Much better than those elephants, but such a cute holder, I agree it needed a facelift. What a great blog you have! I am your newest follower!

Great project. That is a perfect way to have your Punches handy at all times. When things are out of sight we tend to forget about them...I'm do that all the time. Anyway, love your project and the colors too. Great inspiration.

I found your blog by accident! Glad I did. Your craft room reminds me alot of my sewing room. Mine is in pink, black & white too. I just love that color mix! Really happy and upbeat. I am the only female in the house so my sewing room is the only place where pink will go over! lol. I am still working on my room. Stop by and give me a few pointers! I would love the input.

I look forward to reading more of your blog. I had to follow it after the first read. Our tastes are so similar! I gather inspiration wherever I can.

Take care and look forward to reading more!
