You might well wonder what these are...
Several months ago I got a bag full of these. One of my husband's co-workers picked them up for me from a recycling event of sorts. Architecture and design firms all over Cincinnati dropped off product samples, binders, etc. to a site from which the public was then invited to stop by and take the items in an effort to keep things OUT of the landfills. These are carpet fiber color samples (at least I think they are!). Simply divine and I finally came up with a project.
I thrifted the assorted metal wall pockets (see, EVEN less in the landfill),
glued in the carpet fibers, added a bit of Spanish moss and voila!
Naturally I still have some left. What next? Wreaths?!!! Linking to:

I love the colors and textures of the samples and they look great in the buckets. Fabulous.
Very creative! Love them!
