You can find beauty in the most unlikely places. For instance, I found these balls of twine while I was browsing around the hardware store with my husband. Amidst the hammers, screws and nails sat these bright little balls just beckoning for me to take them home. Of course, I had to grab three... one in every color. I'm sure they have some other purpose, but I snatched them up for.... well, crafting of course.
What on earth should I do with these beauties?? (I've already used a little bit here.)
I love those - great colors!
ReplyDeletelove the colours!!!

I haven't done a post on how I take my photos yet, but I'd be happy to put something together. :)
DeleteOuuu maybe some thin woven bracelets? So much fun for the summer!
ReplyDeleteI've seen some quite nice twine in hardware shops before. Yours are in really pretty colours!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you use them for!

the most wonderful find~ love those bright colors
ReplyDeleteIf I was crafty in any way, shape, or form, I would let you know.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I am not.
Though they might look super cute as 3D accents on handmade cards :)
Colourful twine! Love it!
ReplyDeleteim sure you have something creative in the work! can't wait to see :)

Gorgeous! Love those colors. I can't wait to see what else your going to make with these! Maybe some kind of Valentine's day banner?
ReplyDeleteThat would be so cute!
Deletethose bad boys are so cute! Hardware store always has a nice little surprise if you look hard. hmmm... yeah valentine's day banner sounds interesting! maybe fabric art? heart on black fabric...?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the bright twine on the dark fabric... fun contrast!
Deletei'm obsessing over that pink twine!
ReplyDeleteThey are just so adorably photogenic! They would look awesome just sitting in a glass bowl on a shelf - to be admired! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!! I'd be tempted to crochet with them... maybe make some little bowls or something? Whatever you do with them will be fabulous I'm sure!!

Crochet with it!? or you could make macrame bracelets?
ReplyDeletePretty! You can display them "as is." Like in a glass bowl on top of a coffee table. I'd do that here using my pretty vintage spools of thread but I have cats. Haha!
ReplyDeleteMeream!! I love this idea. The perfect solution until I decide to get crafty with them. I've got dogs, so maybe I'm safe. ;)
DeleteThe colors of these are so bright and fun! The first thing that comes to mind is one of those string maps you see on pinterest!

That is so clever! I've seen those maps and it would be so cool to do a neon one.
DeleteThese are such beautiful colours. I can't believe you found them at a hardware store! Miracles do happen! I can't wait to see what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteThat's so random that they have "girly" colored twine in the hardware store ^.^ Also, whenever I look at your photos I wonder about your setup. Are you opposed to sharing a behind the scenes look at your photo space?
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd be happy to share details as to how I take my photos. I've had a few people ask recently. I've been meaning to do a post, but crafting keeps getting in the way... lol! I'll work on getting something together, hopefully in the next few weeks.
DeleteThose are so pretty! I'd make a bracelet with them. =)
ReplyDeleteThese are colors are amazing! Can't wait to see what you do with them!
ReplyDelete...BRB heading to the hardware store immediately! ;)
ReplyDeleteI've been lusting after these twine baskets on Pinterest for a while: http://lestissuscolbert.blogspot.de/2012/08/kellys-corner-das-geht-wie-am.html
But I'm not sure how my fingers would feel about crocheting with twine...
LOVE these twine baskets!! (But I totally get what you mean about the feel of crocheting twine... probably not as cozy as yarn on the fingers.)
DeleteThis is some seriously pretty twine. I always try to make an effort to see the beauty in the little things... I need to remind myself every once in a while. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely Erica! I'm looking forward to seeing your wonderful creation :)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen twine in such beautiful colors - love these pictures that you took! :)
ReplyDeleteJennifHsieh
those are pretty, surely something cute can be made for spring/summer!
ReplyDeleteHahaha! You just never know where you'll stumble upon a little bin of happiness, do you? They are such cheerful colors! Can't wait to see what you do with them Erica!
ReplyDeleteI live right by two flea markets, and I always find random craft supplies! It's so rewarding to make a $30 project that only cost me a dollar or 2. :)
ReplyDeleteso pretty! such fun colors!
ReplyDeletecant wait to see what you come up with!
i know it will be great! :)

The hardware store is a surprising craft supply mecca :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's always so fun to hear where people find inspiration. And I completely agree you can find inspiration in the most unlikely places. I guess it's a reminder to keep yourself open to the creative spirit!
