I have wanted to make these mini wall hangings for such a long time but kept putting it off and finally got round to it.

What delights do you have in your scrap boxes

They are a great way for recycling cardboard, scraps and odds and ends in your supplies that are too nice to throw away but are too small to be used on their own.

I have 3 containers labelled as ‘scrap’ that had come from the off cuts when I was creating other projects and I am determined before the end this year to use them up and make room for other things.Recycled Projects - Mini Wall HangingsOn each of the sections you can also create them and apply a selection of images of your favorite things, encouraging words, even some art work.  Recycled Projects - Mini Wall HangingsYou can change up the shape of the arrangement of the wall hangings....

Creative reminders

Some other ideas that I might try is trying some transfer images, or making them thicker and larger in size.  Because they are made from cardboard they are also lighter in weight than if you were to make them from clay.  I really like them and look forward to seeing what you create and how many ways you can come up with the layout. Recycled Projects - Mini Wall HangingsI hope you have a blessed weekend, and allow your creativity to push back the boundaries in order to allow yourself to really soar!
