quick and easy table-topper

Wow!

It's been a whole month since I've been on here.

Not much making going on these days

unless it's graduation or LEM related.

I hand sewed a little spot that had come undone in a pant's seam

and longed for some time to just stitch.

ah well.

Tony made me promise to not do any prep work
for his little graduation party.

And I'm honoring that - mostly.

I'm good with informal

(really informal, even)

but you can't just have NO centerpiece on the tables whatsoever,

so I came up with these quick and easy tri-table-toppers.

First, I picked three photos

(really you could use anything!)

turned them over 

and spread rubber cement
on the outer 2  inches of each side of each picture.

While I was doing that,

Lexi was hard at work unfolding binder clips.

ignore her jammies and her lunch remnants on them...

and instead - clap with her ~ those little suckers are hard to open!

I used the clips to hold the photos in place while the glue dried

then took them off 

when I was sure the photos were good and stuck.

Viola!

Quick and Easy Centerpieces

They're not as fancy as I'd usually make,

but then,

Ton's not really a fancy kind of guy....
