I just can not let these chestnuts win. Well, we had a second chestnut craft afternoon. We painted the insides of the acorn hats and put them in a vase with chestnuts. I really like the result.

Yes, well, I wanted to do one of these really cute chestnut hearts that you see on the internet. I even got wire (0.8 mm thick). Hahahahahaha. Andre just laughed when I told him what kind of wire it was. To do a heart shaped chestnut wreath, you need the bailing wire. The fence wire. The sturdy wire--barely bendable. These chestnuts are heavy little things. My intended heart turned out to be an oval. Oh well. And I wanted to hang it on the door. But what little string is going to hold that??? You need a big nail. And we don't put big nails in our rented apartment door.
I really like how the chestnut vases turned out too! They look really cool. Colorful and fallish. Sorry about your heart! Ovals are nice too though! :)
ReplyDeleteI like the vases too...just a touch ocf color...so pretty...hmmm can you glue your heart onto something heavy...but you still have the problem on hanging it. Well, it was fun trying...such a lot of chestnuts...to bad you can't roast them on an open fire..la la al as the old song goes...:)
