Well, I mean, I am absolutely a do-it-yourself person, in most arenas. I've lived my own life, paid my own bills, set my own schedule, done-it-myself since I was 17 years old. (I certainly had plenty of love and support, thank goodness. But I took pride in doing things myself.)
However, in the craft-sense of "DIY," I am a total bust.
Thus, I knew there would not be many DIY elements to this wedding. I mean, D is good at DIY stuff; he can draw, sew, construct stuff. I'm not artsy. I can write and act and fake my way through dancing, I can organize the heck outta anything... but fold some origami or design a some jewelry or come up with cute custom table decorations? I quote the Noptetopus:
However, in addition to D (who, let's keep in mind, isn't here), I am surrounded by DIY people. People who are helping me with things like decorations (more on the amazing MQ soon). Though I'm minimizing the DIY overall, I did decide there is one thing I should do. By myself, with my own two hands: make customized flair for my ensemble.
I wanted it to be something unique, longer lasting than corsages or boutonnieres. Something that could be worn by anyone, with multiple options for display. Something eye-catching but classy. I've been working on this off and on for the past several late nights, pre-assembling; tonight, I began assembling.
This project involves super glue.
As the Spoiler Alert post title has already revealed, I glued my fingers together.
I mean, really glued them together.
Tore the skin off my fingertips glued them together.
Still have residue on my fingers even after exfoliating, salt-scrubbing, and tearing at my own skin glued them together.
But the good news is I'm borderline optimistic that when I finish this flair, it will be pretty cool.
That's really all I can manage to type right now. My fingertips are killing me.
The flair was AMAZING. I especially loved OddKidd3's flair.
