One friend would host a crafting weekend, everyone would bring whatever project(s) they needed to get through, we'd watch movies and eat yummy food while working, and they could get idea consults or hands-on help from someone else if they needed. (I don't do that kind of crafting, but I'm a teacher and researcher, so I got to hang out and work through grading or drafting while they were sewing and embroidering and doing other textile arts.)

So next time I would probably only have the back painted so that the glue could stick directly to the zip tie on the front. It was still a ton of fun either way, though!Tracinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724594058209899258.post-6683444463743923922022-06-20T11:06:32.373-04:002022-06-20T11:06:32.373-04:00Jen, those zip tie tiaras are amazing!

I am an attorney for all the county elected officials, and my running joke for 15 years is that they all need to include an attorney tiara in their budgets. What better use for tax dollars!?! Maybe I should try making one of these and wearing it to one of more casual county commissioner meetings where there is no audience. Oh, and John and his Blue Steel made me literally LOL.

First we did decorations for our houses, then they chipped in & helped me make party favors for an epic Halloween party, them we just did our own projects. Then I moved to a different state. Now I'm in a knitting/crafting group that meets once a week. Lots of grandkids, & parrot sitting lately, which is a great problem to have. I wonder if the 6 year old boys would like to try these...?

That helps the host not have to think of so much and prep so much either! Although it is extra fun to see everyone's take on a theme.
