Ever have a great idea for a project, and you know exactly how to pull it off, and you even have all of the supplies on hand? It's like FATE!
I was so excited to start this project. I wanted a letter M for my family room, and I wanted it wrapped in twine. I didn't have any twine, but I did have a nice big unopened roll of hemp cord. Close enough!
So I traced a letter M onto an old cardboard box.
Cut it out.
Started to spray paint the M brown, so if the cord didn't cover perfectly it was okay.
But I ran out of brown. So I had to use black. Minor setback.
So, let's get started!
Squeeeeee! I love this! It's gonna be so purty!
Hmm...letters are a little tricky to wrap. And this is taking a lot more cord than I thought.
And then I run out of cord.
And I can't find anymore of this cord at the store. :o(

Hmph!
Project = Fail.
Eventually I unwrapped the letter and decided maybe I'll try it on a smaller letter.
I'm still too grumpy with my fail to do that though.

It happens to everyone. The black M looks nice, maybe glue the hemp around the edges and have a new project :)
ReplyDeleteI tend to get a vision in my head, and it's a challenge to myself to make it happen, haha. It *has* to be completely wrapped! :)
ReplyDeleteI did use some of the hemp to embellish some decor in my living room though, since I wasn't using it on that letter anymore.
