craftings

 

last week was craft week....

i was back home from vaca and all by my lonesome at the shop

since br was gone, i had to find some way to entertain myself

 so i did this...

 i made 40 of these...

which may not seem like much, but holy cow... it took a lot more time than i was expecting.

 i dipped old invoice, scrap paper and catalogs in coffee

let them dry

cut them up into various petal shapes

hot glued them

and walla!

 a window filled with paper flowers!

since i had to drench around 250 pieces of paper with coffee

i had a little bit of waiting time in between.

while i was waiting, i had a spray paint party

 i painted lots of letters...

 and a frame.

after i painted the frame,

i screwed in 10 loops to the back side of the frame

then added wire across...

to make a sunglass display

{i've been wanting to do this project for a while and realized i finally had all the materials to do so!}

 so there you have it.... my first productive week of the year! go me!
