A Much More Humane Use for a Rat Trap

Thanks so much Julie for showing me the cute little punch art mouse and your version of a note holder made with a rat trap.  I don't know who had the original idea but I do know Julie found the idea on the web.

I'm going up to Waikanae today to retrieve my camera so photos will improve from tomorrow.  I could have done with a flash on a grey Wellington day like today.

Here are the punches that I used to make the mouse: -
Large Ornament Punch
Wide Oval Punch
Butterfly Punch
Word Window Punch &
1/2" Circle

I got my rat trap in a pack of two for about $2.50 from a local bargain shop. Do be careful as even after dismantling some of the nastier bits from the trap the spring is very strong.

Late note: - Julie's just let me know where she found the idea - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcmUamqDAJk&feature=related
