Looks like the future of White Elephant Creations is in good hands. Our daughter has started fixing up old notebooks and making small accessories using the ends of patterned and colored duct tape rolls. She has even started selling some to her friends for nickels and dimes and giving money to charity. Here are some of her latest creations…a notebook cover and a change purse.

DIY Vinyl Record Clock
Check out this easy to make colorful vinyl record wall clock that we made for our daughter’s bedroom. Using a 78 record, we attached the numbers and clock hardware from a kit we purchased at the craft store (or you can reuse one from an old wall clock). We had to drill the hole in the record a little bit to fit the hardware and then used some legos to help reinforce the battery casing in the back. A simple project with fun results.
From Sticker To Magnet
Stickers are great to show off your favorite team or brand, but once you stick them on something. they are there to stay. A more non-permanent option for displaying your favorite stickers is to simply turn them into magnets. Take an old magnet (old calendars are great to use) and stick your sticker to it. Cut out the sticker…and voila! Instant magnet. Although Keen makes some sweet boots, this post is not endorsed by them.
DIY Christmas Bows
After growing tired of our store bought Christmas bows falling apart each year, Faith decided to make her own this year with a roll of ribbon that she picked up. After making the bows, she tied the bows to cuttings from our Christmas tree, and I helped put up on the shutters to our cabin with a staple gun. We love getting to use nature to help decorate for Christmas.
