Clear enough?

A Sunday evening adventure started with this.

Well, actually it started on Saturday when I was browsing through the thrift store and spotted two off-cuts of IKEA panel curtains.

What to do, what to do with them. Hm, well, a fellow guild member of mine had made some cute woven fabric stars; I wonder how this material will weave out.

Some chop, chop, chop, and glue, glue, glue later and I got this.

My white glue says it dries clear. Right, I indeed hope so. Glue everywhere. What is the deal with glue and me, we are certainly not always on friendly terms?

It still looks quite fab, I’d say

even with glue everywhere

and when the sun shines through it, it’s clear enough.

Don’t you think?

You’ll find several tutorials for the woven star at House Revivals here; next time I’ll use a glue-proof material.

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. I agree! I love it. Maybe use glitter glue, and that'll look like you meant for it to be everywhere.
