I heard that a church was seeking supplies for thier vacation bible school week and at the top of the list were three items-- laundry bottle caps, toilet paper rolls and tin foil. Hmmm...you know I couldn't just let that go--I had to know what they were making with these things! I pondered long and hard, my creative juices were flowing so much I was salivating. What in the world would they use these items for? I had ideas!
I paced, I pondered, I imagined. Was the bottle cap the head, the toilet paper roll the body and the tin foil the feet for some craft-project creature? What about planting seeds in the laundry detergent caps, making hobo meals on the grill with the tin foil and making homemade marracas with the paper rolls? Or perhaps the toilet paper rolls were going to be painted bright colors, strung together with tin foil balls between them for a garland? Maybe the bottle caps were going to be used as sand castle molds? Oh boy was I flowing with ideas! Before the day was out I had thought of a myriad of ideas for the three items and I was quite proud of my crafty self for the follow-through. When it was all said and done I found out the toilet paper rolls were going to be kindling for the camp fire, the tin foil was for leftovers and the bottle caps were going to be used as paint cups. My creative bubble was deflated. Where is the imagination?! Where is the ingenuity?! Where are my like-minded crafty peeps!?
So I'm throwing down the challenge--what crafty things could one make with these three things--I'd love to know your ideas! I know what you're saying--don't get caught up in her post PMS madness--but just do it--may the (creative) force be with you!
