Allsorts Challenge Blog - Recycle or alter something

This weeks challenge over at Allsorts is to alter or recycle something.

We have just finished with a pringles tube so I had a go at altering it.

First I cut it down to about half its size and then cut out strips of TSS metal. I coloured the metal with sharpies and then used six different CB embossing folders and ran the metal through the bug. I then lightly sanded down the pieces and stuck them to the tube. I found some letters to spell out the word "Bitz" and stuck them onto one of the panels.
