From the recycle bin

I really hope I understood the help directions and actually have posted the images.

I wanted to share a couple of things I found that help make my display a bit better. These are cardboard fillers that come in boxes as packing protection. This first was in a box of computer supplies that my husband received. I love the rough shape of them. They are easy to cut down to different sizes and the flat surfaces on top make great spots to stand figures.

There were a lot of these narrower shapes which was great for my display on the mantle.

They looked ok without painting but over the summer, I would like to paint them up a bit. I'm sure they would look much better. The other shape I found was in a box of flourescent light tubes that we got at work. Look at this awesome shape! It looks like a wall with an arch. I've used them both just like this and by cutting out the arch and actually having a door way. And all this was heading for the trash!

Hi! I clicked on the picture and it took me to the pic. I then highlighted the IMG link in the box on the right of the screen called "Links to share this photo". I then came into the reply window and clicked paste.

You were close - just missed the final step. Here is the second pic. You can try the third. When you highlight the box labeled IMG, you will see it say "Copied". You then go to your post and paste it into the post. When you actually post the reply/comment, you will see the photo appear.

Good ideas!

I see, I chose the wrong link. My stitching board uses yet another. So the image for the last one.

A recycling bin (or recycle bin) is a container used to hold recyclables before they are taken to recycling centers. Recycling bins exist in various sizes for use in homes, offices, and large public facilities. Separate containers are often provided for paper, tin or aluminum cans, and glass or plastic bottles.

Alina, I meant that I got the stuff I used for the project from the recycle bin, it was discarded cardboard packing. The images are gone now since photobucket now charges for 3rd party hosting of images.
