Strange Assortment = Play Opportunity

I went to my studio with the intention of putting things away.  Honest.  

But, then I noticed the strange collection of things on my table and I just had to do some experimenting.  Here’s what I saw:

Some little plastic boxes that I’ve been saving because I thought they were cool:
white boxes

Strips of torn fabric from a previous project:
fabric strips

And the glue I’d been using in my Sticky Fingers class:all supplies
I decided to use one box lid and see if I could get fabric to stick to its slick surface.  

Yes!  It worked!

I’m kinda in love with this little treasure box.  I think it will become a gift box for someone at some future point.

Now for the second one.  (I’ve got different ideas for it, though.)

What strange assortment of objects do you have lying around your studio?

P.S. These little boxes held my mini-moo cards, (half-size business cards.)
