Jen sent me a great little craft. I would have finished earlier, but I had to go buy a new glue gun. I know I had one. I think it's been reappointed to garage duty. I bought a pink one this time. I bet I'll always be able to find it.
Here are the supplies she sent: a package of magnets, a package of small blocks, and four future magnets.
I threatened to keep the pink brooch to wear. But I didn't. I made it into a magnet and it is now up on my fridge.
This is a brooch, complete with pin on back. You can see a glimpse of my pink glue gun in the upper right corner, and a glimpse of my pink needle nose pliers on the right edge. I always know where they are. They don't get taken to the garage.
Using the needle nose pliers and a slight twisting motion, as though I was dialing each piece, I broke off the pin on each side. I opened the pin first so I could do each side separately and wouldn't get a flying pin in the eye. I's a jeenus.
This is one of the magnets right after I've glued it all together. I went back and added a small bead of glue all the way around to add some strength and clean up the look a bit.
Jen already has her second project, and I think she's finished it. I am patching some jeans for her and then I'll be able to send out project number three with it, also.
Ooh, those look so cute! Gah you're so fast.
ReplyDeleteI did finish mine! Last night! And I even took my camera and cord in to work and wrote my post and then I had used all my quota time and couldn't get on to blogger. Another productive day for the short timer.
I'll have it up shortly.
