Sweet friends,
Have you tried making barely-there cards, ATCs or tags before?. Neither do I, so I'm most excited to share a Barely-there Tag Carousel with you this month. Made this for our last challenge of the year, LESSology Challenge #20: Barely There. Tags are made entirely out of discarded plastic cartons from wafers and biscuits packages!. Here's how it looks like;
If you are not a fan of Alice, that is OK too :). The carousel is perfect to hold Thanksgiving I-Feel-Grateful-For notes, to be a Christmas wish tree, a calendar, a fun ATCs display, little photos memory keeper and many more!. Is that not cool?
Humble materials used in this project;
Plastic cartons, glass bottles, glass crystals and paper clips.

I used an old copper jewelry carousal, bought at the fleamarket to hang all these goodies :). You can create a tree if you like. Using jewelry making tools, I made little tags and ATC-sized cards to hang. Then I added many more glassy and transparent things for fun.
I made some image transfer with clear packing tapes using Magic Alice Digital Collage Sheets from Nicecrane Designs [thanks, Ignacio!]. Love that these images are still somewhat transparent.

Lastly, a tiny clear ALICE brag book. It is an accordion album, secured with a metal ring. I glued some blue foam alphas for her name :). This is too much fun, isn't it?.
Other fun curious things;
'Looking mirror', a metal rose, skeleton keys, 'Drink Me' magic potion and 'Mad Hatter' tag.Lastly, a tiny clear ALICE brag book. It is an accordion album, secured with a metal ring. I glued some blue foam alphas for her name :). This is too much fun, isn't it?.
