Project Fail

so i was feeling crafty.
and thought this was cute.

i decided to actually try one of the crafty things i pinned on pinterest.
i already had this shimmery frame - just had to take the mirror out.  i tried to type the words but the printer kept feeding the cardstock through crooked.  So, I got blank bookmarks from michael's and a pretty red pen instead. also got some red foil wire and mini clothes pins.

starting materials

plan was:

cut book marks (to be 2 x4)

round corners

write christmas words

remove mirror

string foil behind frame horizontally - pin with thumb tacks

clip on words with mini clothes pins

admire my craftiness

but then, i tried to force the mirror out and....

it broke.

project fail.

i had already cut the bookmarks to size, rounded the corners and wrote the words.

looked for a frame but didn't love anything i saw. 

then we went to chicago for christmas and i lost interest.

haha maybe next year!
