Projects Using Rust & Relics

After I wrote the post, Crafting with Rust & Relics, a reader asked,  “So what kind of crafts can we do with these old relics?”Since I’ve seen my daughter using these items, I have used them myself, read about relics, and have viewed them at craft fairs, I didn’t think to explain about projects you can undertake. 

• Many can be attached to mixed media pieces.
• Some can be background material for attaching others.
• Use old wood and arrange some of the relics on it.
• Some people attach keys, buttons, watch findings and similar items to quilts and fabric art.
• Glue them together for three dimensional art.
• Create memory shadow boxes of old items belonging to a family member
• String them on mobiles

The possibilities are unlimited; simply use your imagination and creativity.
