IF THIS IS A BAD IDEA TELL ME NOW
- Take:
- 1 (one) overtired and rather cross Meg
- 1 (one) package of wooden dowels
- 1 (one) each random lump blue and purl pearl, approximating an ounce of Fimo
- 1 (one) cup hook from your stupid light spindle that died.
(.... excuse me, I just realized it smells like a bog in here, and on further investigation, it appears to be the dog. I must crush his spirit by sending him out of the room.
"I hate to tell you this, but he smells like that because he is --"
"No, BOG! B-O-G! Not D as in dog! B as in blech!"
"....oh. Was he outside watching Daddy burn brush?"
"YOU SMELL OF MUD, ANIMAL."
"WAH, MEAN HUMANS ARE MEAN ;_____;" ) - 1 (one) oven, heated to 275 degrees
- After dedicated smushing and rolling, get one circle of Fimo approximating a round shape, and poke a hole in more or less center thereof, stick in oven, bake as directed. Hunt out rubber bands and / or washers and use them to hold Fimo whorl in place.
- ?????
- Attempt to spin with it.
- PROFIT???
TELL ME NOW, THE FIMO IS IN THE OVEN.
They did have wooden wheels at Walmart but I don't really want to go into making tiny lace spindles and selling them for $10 plus shipping on ebay, with added insult to injury, so I'll just wait until I can make it to Michael's or Ben Franklin's to get bigger ones. Also cup hooks, which I have no real idea where to find. Walmart failed me and I think Michael's might too.
edit:
BIG PROFIT.
Oh my god, it spins like a Clinton aide! The edges are a little rough and I have to figure out how to get it perfectly even (I think Mom has a roller thing though) but BY GOD. I feel super clever, you would not even believe.
