When you start new hobbies and buy every supply under the sun for them, you’re able to Keep Busy and Save Money for years to come. Case in point: I broke out the paper stuff and made a tissue box cover for my office for FREE, because I had all the book board, glue, and paper already.
I’d made a box cover before and started a “recipe book” with dimensions for projects, so this didn’t even require engineering, just cutting to measurements. I used some of my favorite temari ball washi paper for a pop of red in there.
