Ut oh! Don't try this at home.

Ever have a party and you have a lovely buffet set up only to have your tablecloth flapping in the breeze?

Me and my ideas of what can I do with this = torn rotator cuff.  I like the result but not the four (4) plus weeks of pain that seems to have no end in sight.....surgery isn't appealing.
.

Imagine this conversation. Well you see doctor, I like to make stuff from other stuff and I had an abundance of some stuff. For a year I thought about making new stuff with that pile of abundant stuff. I had so many I donated dozens to a local charity thrift shop.  After failed attempts at the idea I tried something different. I just went for it; big time. I was so excited that I didn't pay attention to the first tinge of pain. My deluded brain equated it to sore muscles from being a major lazy bones.  My idea of exercise which was once super regimented at 4-5 days a week at 6:00 am has turned into strolling down the stairs to the kitchen.

It's nothing.  It will go away in a few days.~ Reminder to self get off the chair and go for a walk in this lifetime.

 It was these in particular and I am keeping them.

It wouldn't be so bad except brushing my hair or zipping up a dress which I do with my right arm has me doing that sucking in air while clenching my teeth thing and yes, I admit a few yelps have expounded out as well.  Now, since the doctors I have actually been to can't figure out what is going on with my entire left side maybe, it's not a good idea to be working with hammers or any other type of equipment.

Instead of the typical weights, these will add some flair to your
table cloths. From gingham to beaded.

One client wrote she be using them at her wedding with burlap table runners.  

She will be putting three on each end.

Doesn't that sound lovely?

You could also hang these in windows or use as ornaments.

I think a few of these on some sturdy white branches would be fun.

I am still working on fan and light pulls.

These weights work best on solid tables 

mesh or open tables need two (2) weights in each corner.

Now if your thinking I have a ton of knives I don't use and I'm going to make some myself

Stainless varies in gauge the lower the gauge the harder it is to cut.
I wasn't using anything like tin snips either.

Oh! Did I forget to mention I tore my rotator cuff in the process of making these?

So who every wins my give back giveaway coming up which includes
a set of four. I really hope you love them.
