Nor am I very patient.
What I am though, is VERY cheap.
So last night I saw this infinity scarf tutorial by way of W at Pretty Life Anonymous.
Morgan sewed her scarf but I cant sew. Like, at all. Really, my mom asked me to not touch the machine because I make bad things happen. W hot glued hers but I'm at Prince Charmings and he doesn't own a glue gun. So I decided to take a trip to the craft store and improvise!
I managed to score 3 remnants of Jersey that were big and less than $3 each.
I also picked up a bottle of fabric glue.
So I set out to make a scarf while Prince Charming was at work but I encountered a couple problems.
1. Prince Charming only owns scissors that MIGHT cut through paper if you prayed real hard. Forget about fabric.
2. The fabric glue has a 24 hour dry time which is not real conducive to wearing it out that night.
Well so my lines were not straight when I cut but I did glue in straight lines so its not noticeable. The glue thing was a big deal though. My whole outfit for meeting PC out after work hinged on a scarf. One that wouldn't glue my hair together in clumps from the still tacky glue.
So I got out the hairdryer.
I spent 30 minutes blow drying all the glue until it was dry enough to wear. It may have been silly but it was effective!
I made those sweet earings and borrowed that cool white t from my 6 year old
PC gave me a kiss and told me he was proud of my scarf.
The best craft projects should always end with a kiss.
p.s. Im making 2 more today.
