The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant. Let me tell you they were tricky! The murals are on glass and when
This was an idea from a craft book that I got some time ago. The pencils were from the dollar bins at Target and cost $2 for all of them. The colors were bright and fun, perfect for this project. The frame is from Michael's and was a $1. I left frame unpainted because it was getting covered up anyways. Using a wire cutter, I scored the pencils in the middle and then broke them in half. The part that drove my husband crazy was when it came time to sharpen all of them using an electric sharpener. The pencils were hot glued in place and lined up towards the center of the frame. This would also be a fun thing for kids to do using regular glue. I wouldn't want to have them burn their fingers using a glue gun. Have a great day and don't forget to live life creatively!
