junk challenge!

We all have a junk drawer, don’t we?

Well… maybe it’s not a drawer, but a box… or a jar… or a tin…

You know.. .the kind of place where all the junky little bits and pieces from your household tend to accumulate?

I kind of end up with junk tubs all over the house, like this:

P6070001

There’s random keys and screws, bread tags and buttons, elastic bands and pieces of foreign currency. Probably some paper clips, safety pins, a couple of marbles, an old mobile phone, a reel of cotton and a few old batteries which may or may not have any charge left in them…

Okay… so here is the challenge…

First - take a photo of the junk (mostly because I’m a big old stickybeak, and I’d love to see what’s hiding in there)

Next - choose three or more items of junk to work with, and take a photo of course

Then - it’s time to get creative…

Make a project which uses those junk items…

Use any additional materials that you like. Incorporate the junk into your knitting, sewing, crochet, or whatever… Or just grab a hot glue gun and go crazy with it.

Head on over to my Ravelry group to join in... we're a friendly bunch! The Junk Challenge will be running for the month of June, with a prize for the entry which most tickles my fancy...

Or you can just pop in and see what everyone is up to...
