Ring Shell instead of pillow

aww Jules you know I would.... but I'm seriously sick of shopping for seashells AND arts and crafts. i'm pissed my memory candles didn't work out. I'm screwed

I teared it apart last night. I have a glass candle holder about 8 inches high and I got special vellum paper to print on a lil poem and then in memory of ...

I printed them off on the vellum and bought hodge podge (er sumthing like that) for paper to glue to objects. As soon as the thin layer of glue i applied to the paper, the vellum starting curling up. I go to put it on the glass and all the ink bleeds The problem is any other adhesive shows through.. so now I'm screwed and out of options.

Hmm would it have the effect that vellum paper does? I guess i could try and see what it does. i have nothing to lose. thanks

OR.. cut the vellum so it's the exact size and just tape the seam? Will it stay around the edges that way?

Nurse Sarah did something great. She printed on tissue paper (taped to paper before running through printer). Then I think with a blow dryer she applied the very thin layer of tissue to a pillar candle.. It looked great.. you could put that inside your glass and it would be the same thing!

I ordered a shell on ebay the other night. It came in the mail and

FI says "whats in that package?"

I say, oh, I think its the shell I ordered to hold our rings

FI: huh?

me: we'll put our rings in it and you can carry it in your pocket

FI: umm, thats corny, shouldn't I have been consulted on this first?

me: no, really, I think it will look really cute for our rings

I open the package and out comes this ENORMOUS shell holder thing, I was dying!! FI thought I was nuts!

So the lesson here is make sure you check the dimensions of your shell prior to ordering it.

I have no idea what I'm going to do with this giant shell thing now.
