My mom bought one of their "chairs" about 8" high. The seat could be lifted and mom kept bobby pins and safety pins in there.Granny Marigoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15858237999602347848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-6923015303971229612021-01-13T17:20:30.333-07:002021-01-13T17:20:30.333-07:00I can't wait to see your paper hearts!I can't wait to see your paper hearts!Olde Dame Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582859287218671766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-7496139784343118212021-01-13T14:01:39.198-07:002021-01-13T14:01:39.198-07:00How funny about the "tin foil".

My dearest mom was the original recycle queen.<br />I don't remember making things from decorative cardboard, but I am having fun making the paper hearts you shared.

I used to use margarine containers for leftovers but ended up throwing more away than eating them.
