WOYWW - 28/07/2010

Hello WOYWW-ers, hope you are all doing ok, I've missed the past couple of weeks as things have been a bit hectic! No workdesk today as I forgot to take a picture (what a doofus!) instead I have a picture of my home made clip it up.

I had been bugging Mr Paper for a couple of years about buying me a clip it up and the silly, silly man, instead of parting with the cash said "why buy when I can make you one", of course I bugged him for weeks and weeks to make it and it never materialised, eventually I was resigned to the fact that I would never get one and would have to continue raking through a large cardboard box to find my supplies.

One day, many months later, he came home from work and placed a large object wrapped in a bin bag on the table with a heavy 'thunk', imagine my delight when I saw what he had made! I am lucky that he works in a manufacturing plant where he has access to lots of tools, metal, paint and such like. The only change I made was to spray it white. I bought lots of clips and hooks from Ikea and now have my very own rotating, albeit and bit heavy, clip it up!

So, here is the card I made today on the workdesk I forgot to photograph!


If you haven't seen it yet, have a little look at the post below which has a tutorial on how to make a rolled spiral flower wreath.

Have a great week!

    What a brilliant 'clip it up' - I've been wanting one for ages but they are silly money. Perhaps mass production?? ;-)

    What a clever hubby - your clip it up looks great and being heavy probably makes it much more stable. Your card is stunning.

    Beautiful card Mrs Ribbons....and what a great asset of a DH. I'm the same, he says 'I'll make it' and my ungrateful answer is always 'yeah but when?'. I think the heavy bottomed clipit up is better - uneven hanging wieght distribution won't be a prob!

    What a clever guy. Heavy might be a good fault cos it won't topple over easily.

    I can only guess that Mr. Paper is your honeyman. I guess this because my honeyman Also insists that he can make things that I Really Sort Of Would Prefer To Buy Because I Need Them Right Now, but then After a Very Long time - will surprising make said thing, and it is generally lovely.
    Generally.
    Yours IS lovely and I am happy that you have it :)

    This is AWESOME. I love it. If you have a WalMart where you live, you can buy badge clips that are really cheap. In the US, they are in a package of 25 for $1.00. They do the same thing as the clips you surely paid more for. Happy belated WOYWW.

    Almost forgot. That's a beautiful card.
