I wanted a folder to store ideas for craft so I went to buy a 'funky' ringbinder. Once in the shop, I realised I could decorate my own, so I might as well just buy the cheapest one! I used decopatch papers to cover the front and spine and added black lettering to the front. I covered the whole thing with a layer of sparkly Mod Podge. Looks better than any I could have bought!
My daughter loves giraffes and for the last couple of months, every time we go into our local Hobbycraft, there has been a 5 foot Decopatched giraffe in there. Last time we went in I finally agreed to buy her a little one and she helped me decorate him. I used all the different Decopatch papers I have collected over the last few months and have created a very pretty little giraffe. I'm thinking of adding some little 'googly' eyes as a finishing touch at some point!
