My sister in law came over while I was figuring out how to make my magazine basket. She held up its beginnings and asked if I was making a mobile.No...I said...wheels turning...but we totally could!
She's a genius.
So here it is.
Now comes the artistic trial and error segment.
Tie on buttons and your leftover magazine rolls for decoration. If you tie a button on one side, you need to add some smaller magazine rolls (or another button, or pompom, or whatever) to the other side. Keep cutting off one segment of the roll until it balances with the button.
Keep cutting and trimming ends until it hangs and twirls nicely.
Happy Weekend!
Only my friend Cally would think to recycle those magazines and make something utterly fantastic. I think I might need to steal your brain for a few days.
ReplyDeletetake it, Lindsey. It's kinda wearing me out.
ReplyDeleteYou are too much Cally.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't want your brain because it already wears me out. :)
ReplyDeleteYour clever craftiness is mind boggling! Love it! And the placemat idea is genius! I used to recycle magazine pages into envelopes...I can't believe the ways you can find to use a sewing machine! One day, move to Utah so you can coax me out of my fear of that electric fright.
ReplyDeleteWowza! Totally cute, Cally. And you're right of course, she is a genius.
ReplyDeleteYou are a freaking genius --that is all I have to say, and I LOVE YOU
