Re-purposing Salt Tubs Week 2

 When I started looking online for inspiration for using up salt tubs I didn't find all that many ideas. If I found anything at all it was generally the idea to make a pen/pencil holder. But one idea that I did run across - just a little sentence with no pictures- was the idea to make a butterfly from the pouring spout of the salt tub. That didn't sound overly useful but it sounded a little fun, and pretty easy so I decided to give it a try.

First I pulled out a couple of the spouts and made them fairly flat.

Then I cut one a little bit to try to improve the shape and then I hot glued them together. Next step was to take a piece of copper wire and twist it into the antennae shape. I glued that on and then added buttons down the middle.

 Then I decided to add some more colorful buttons and some small beads for the open spots.

I decided it would make a cute magnet and so I added some magnets to the back.

 It was a very quick little project and rather fun too.

Do you have any ideas for using salt tubs?
