One Thing Leads To Another

Isn't that the truth? I was crocheting a hat for my grandaughter recently and as I was doing so, I thought to myself... "self, you should make a cute hat stand to show this hat off when your finished with it." So, the crocheting was set aside and I was off starting a new project. I took an old Styrofoam head and totally made it over into something that I now l.o.v.e.

 I used metal tape that I ran through my Big Kick embossing machine to cover the head form. I used a very ornate embossing folder on the tape to give the form a nice vintage look. Along the edges of the cut pieces of the metal tape, I used pins to keep the tape in place. I think it gives the piece a look of having rivets.

 After finishing and loving the results with the Styrofoam head... that made me grab the Styrofoam torso I have and cover that with the same treatment. Here you can see the beginning stages of that project... one thing leads to another... and another.

I also had my two grandkids playing with some metal tape too.... I had them both create a photo frame. Here is my five year old grandaughter very proudly holding her finished frame.

Now, I am needing to get back to my original project of crocheting my grandaughter's hat!
