Outside the Box-The Hardware Store

My Friends layout below features one of my hardware store finds. The black mesh I found in screen dept. I got a hugh roll of the stuff for $6. I can see several ways to use it, the Friends layout I made the hearts out of wire and then secured them to the screen.

It would be great to cut in squares, it cuts easily, and mount charms with wire. You could mat pictures, use on an alter art project and many other ways.

I also bought some washers and a skeleton key. Best of all, these things were WAY cheaper than buying at the local scrapbook store. Just go roam around Home Depot or Lowe's and you can find all sorts of goodies!
