A Wreath With A Difference...
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,
