Some more snipits
to drive my sister crazy...
This was the most fun part.
Stinky, but fun.
I used a soldering iron to carve names into the foam.
Works like a hot knife through butter.
Painted them all at once the first round.
Tricked the kids into thinking it was fun to paint the cut out letters. haha not fun.
There were A LOT of letters to paint.
Cutting the "stickum".
My favorite picture of the entire project!!!
See if you can guess what the HECK I am doing....
NO WAY YOU GUESSED IT !! I will tell you in a minute....
Don't use E 6000 on foam, haha, it EATS it right away!!!
This is construction adhesive for $2 at Wally's World.
Then, I had to "age" them...
Then, I had to garnish a few of them....
I have to wait for the glue to dry on the skeletons,
and I had to make a giant fake sucker.
Otherwise,
I am soooo close
to the big
"reveal".
Haha,
of course if you live in my town all you have to do is
DRIVE BY!
Oh, yeah, what was I doing?
I was boiling my magnets! hahahahahha
Whoduhthunkit?
Hubbies idea.
The
magnets were sooo old and bent from being rolled up so long,
that they would not relax enough to sit flat on metal surfaces
and would not work.
So, I heated them in boiling water for 10 seconds
and stuck them on my fridge and smoothed them out.
Worked
Like
MAGIC!!!
