Having to travel so much since our family and relatives live overseas made it necessary to have a passport holder that could organize all of our travel documents. Every time we had to fill out customs forms, we never had a pen handy and our documents were in an envelope, not at all organized or easy to find. My husband also travels often for business, so he was the first one to ask me to make a passport holder. As I have always enjoyed making crafts, using different materials, mixing textures, patterns and techniques, it was a fun project, and have not stopped making them ever since!
It must have been my creative side as an industrial designer that did not allow me stop looking and brainstorming of new ways I could take different materials, such as candy and chocolate boxes, cans, glasses, wine glasses, corks, coffee filters, and re-purpose, reuse and recycle them. With so many materials that can be transformed, I have not been able to tackle all the different projects I have in mind, but are definitely on my list. 24 hours in a day just do not seem like enough!
During the process of selecting and finding materials to make the passport holders, I realized that I could recycle cardboard that have the thickness and sturdiness I was looking for to make the backbone of my product. I now have many friends and friends of friends saving these cardboards and glasses for me, and I would like to thank them for their support!
I believe that with creativity, we can recycle many different kinds of materials into unique, beautiful products that are still very useful. Each one of my products have their own purpose, handmade by myself from the beginning to end in a completely smoke- free environment.
