Well Justin (my fiancé) had a dream... an actual dream like when you're asleep, not MLK style.
That dream was to make the twine globes and then create an arch out of the globes for us to get married under. Well I think its a great idea and could look really cool if we can figure it out logistically.
So to start the process we are going to begin experimenting soon with creating a few of the twine globes in our apartment. Thankfully this blog has very detailed instructions that seem pretty easy, if a bit messy, to follow: http://wednesdaycustomdesign.com/blog/messiest-merriest-and-whirliest-diy-balls
I'll update our progress with some pictures later this week!
Oh, yea! I'm looking forward to following your creative endeavors! (Just added you to my 'crafty' Bloglovin' queue!)
ReplyDeleteThis project has been on my To-do, too....though I think Martha's method is less messy - the glue goes on post-wrapping. Check it out:

Have fun!
Of course Martha has done it - and done it less messy! Thanks for the link, I'll definitely try both methods.
ReplyDeleteAny idea if this will stand up in rain? Thinking about doing this in red and green for Christmas, but wanting to leave it up all month. So the threat of rain ruining it, may change my mind.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tested it out in the elements yet. The clear spray paint is to seal in the glue and make it more sturdy. Perhaps if you did some extra coats of the clear spray paint it will hold up in the rain. Hope this helps!
