Which is why I totally dig these, like having your own bar!<br />You know, all these things you make are <i>really</i> good and I wonder if you’ve ever sold any, like on Etsy…or maybe that would take the fun out of it! Oh and it’d mean staying focused… Hmm… As a fellow squirrel-head, I can definitely see how the fun might go straight out of it!<br /><a href="http://missalister.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Miss A</a>Miss Alisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16657740513820420488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31828883.post-43396471534132132412014-04-09T09:47:19.299-05:002014-04-09T09:47:19.299-05:00I love the glasses!

I looked back at how much it cost us for the apparatus...it actually wasn't bad. It was priced at $24.95 at Michael's, but I had a 50% off coupon at the time. So I spent less than $15. Not bad for something that can be infinitely reused. We've already made over a dozen glasses with it.ErraticEllehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807468379577508119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31828883.post-26361103257705723832014-04-08T18:19:10.563-05:002014-04-08T18:19:10.563-05:00Thank you Aarthi!

There have been some really cool paper designs that we've found.
