DIY LEATHER GARLAND AND FAVORS
Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 6:01AM 
Ever foiled anything? I was wandering the streets with Megan of NOT MARTHA and we discussed foiling glasses and vases. I think I have found my new craft wanderer...what is a craft wanderer? Someone who you don't have to bribe to wander aimlessly looking for inspiration and enjoys gawking at craft supplies as much as you. She is the first one I have found that I actually live by. I am in heaven and she is the sweetest thing ever, LOVE her! I loved all the cute shops she brought us to in Ballard. She told me some secret sources for felt, pretty real wool felt, and she even sent me an email with links of sources mentioned on our trip.
Anyhoo, we both decided we needed the FOILING KIT from Martha Stewart Crafts. I couldn't stop thinking of it and grabbed one ASAP. These silvered necklaces/favors/garlands were the result.
You can pretty much bet that something in each room of my house will be foiled by the end of the week. It will be epic. Sorry, that word is funny, I can't stop using it. Ed and I read some comment that the "ninties were epic, man" and it is just a running joke in our house now. The ninties were NOT epic, sorry. Oh no, now bad nineties songs are running in my head...crap. Epic...it is funny, right? Maybe it is just me, nevermind. Go see my tutorial for these bad boys HERE on THE SWEETEST OCCASION.

Hahahaha. Foiling something in every room of your house *would* be pretty eipc. That is too funny. I would love to have a craft wanderer! What a good name for it. Even my craftiest friends kind of glaze over a little when I get too excited about something. I have always wondered--is it me, or is it them? It's nice to know there are craft wanderers out there. And how fun that you live by Not Martha!
:)
P. S. I loved the tutorial--makes me want to try out the kit. I've been eyeing it.
I'm so glad you posted about this! I ALMOST bought that foiling kit at Michael's the other day, and then thought, oh, well, maybe not. So now I definitely must have it! So so cute!
I'm cracking up right now. Epically.
