The difference being that it is made of pencils!
These
four colouring pencils were a freebie and as soon as I saw them I knew I
wanted to do something out of the ordinary with them. I pulled out
matching
3mm satin ribbon
and set to work trying to tie them together. After lots of frustration
I pulled out the glue gel and stuck them together! When the gel had
dried I added my ribbon and tied them in to bows.
Then this square of pencils sat on my desk for a week or more. I just
wasn't sure how to make it in to something... I couldn't add it to
scrapbook page as it is too dimensional. I couldn't incorporate it in
to a mini album as it wouldn't withstand much bashing around.
There
were two options left; a wreath - just a bit of quirky colour for the
sake of it or a picture frame - finding a way to put a back on and
getting it to stand by itself and adding a photo. As of yet I've not
managed to find a way of making it stand, so for now it is just a
colourful little wreath hanging up in my art room.
Let me know what you think,
