I just had to share this really cute tutorial I found today on SwirlyThoughts.  She shows how to make padded envelopes using reclaimed materials. 

It is such a wonderful idea.  So many possibilities!

I have been been doing a lot of playing around with magazines lately.  I saved a rather large stash from the trash at work last week.  So as you can imagine there has been lots of cutting, folding, rolling and gluing (non-toxic) going on.  Needless to say, it has been an interesting challenge coming up with different ways to reuse them all.

For the most part I have had great luck in making jewelry out of them.  Earrings, bracelets and beads have all been fun.  I’ll post about them later though. 

Today however, I am very pleased with a tea wallet that I made.  I love my tea, and always have a bag or two in my purse or pocket.  Christy’s Creations had a great Tea Wallet Tutorial that I thought might be a fun way to reuse the magazines.  The image I chose was a little small, but I love how it came out. 

Surprisingly durable and very cute.  I have been taking it to work all week, and absolutely love it.
