Deborah Dee just posted the cutest idea on her new blog… little pendants made from paper scraps and a bamboo placemat.

All of the photos above are from Deborah Dee’s blog and flickr.

I’ll have to pick up a placemat next time I’m at Target – I want to give it a go!

    That’s a really neat idea and a fantastic way to ‘upcycle’ without having to unnecessarily through away anything! I wonder what else you could make out of the little tiles….

    Nicole,

    this is really smart. Who knew! I threw away a bunch of wooden place mats….oh well, a note to myself for next time.

    From the first photo I thought this post was about making candy and I got really excited. But I’m glad it wasn’t a huge letdown… those pendants are cute!

    And with the right stringing wire, these would also make great handles for small purses. Thanks for linking to this. I love it.
