If I can figure out what to make with golf balls, I have an almost limitless supply.

I have been a busy crafting bee this past week.  Inspiration hit, and I took advantage.  Some things are a work in progress, while other items are complete.  Here are some pictures of my completed crafts.

Jack-O-Lantern Jar

Soda Can Tab Bracelet

More Bracelets

After starting these projects, I thought about where I would get the materials to make more.  We hardly go through glass jars, just the occasional pickle jar.  We don't drink can drinks around my house.  I would love to do cans but I know what the result would be - half empty cans litering the house.  A lot of wasted sodas.  Anyways, I asked my momma, my mother-in-law, and my grandma to save these items for me.  This afternoon it dawned on my how to get these materials - my grandpa Jerry.  Bless him, he has about anything you could need in his building.  He collects random stuff.  I guess that's where I get it from.  I stopped buy his house to show him what I was making and to ask him to start saving the tabs off of his recycle cans.  He disappeared into his building.  A few minutes later, he emerged with a gallon jug FULL of tabs!  He told me he's got another one when I run out of these.  He also had me several jars.  I was pleased to no end!  If I can figure out what to make with golf balls, I have an almost limitless supply.

I love your crafty-ness! I never would have thought to use a jar for that but it is so cute! I can't wait to see your Thanksgiving/Christmas ideas - since I don't do Halloween :)
