My teacher friend neighbor is the BEST...at the beginning of summer she ordered us one of these new, every body's talking about them, pencil sharpeners! I bought her lunch in return, I think she got the wrong end of that deal!
I chose the color black, not her, even though she was the one who came up with the thought...I chose the color with one thing in mind. I wanted to "trick" it out and make it BEE-utiful!
As you can see it is a plain Jane sharpener! So I went out and found some yellow tape.
Before I 'Jacked it' up I had to use it a few times, sorry I didn't clean it for the photos...oops
Back to the yellow tape, it was so bright and Y E L L O W I was so excited, then well it was opaque..I could see through it, should have spent the extra money on electrical tape...but I was undeterred!
I just slapped on another coat of tape! I still might go out and get the electrical tape, there is time...but now as I look at it I think he needs WINGS!!!
All in all , it turned out pretty nice, I trimmed the edges a bit here and there and voila...the final product.....
Once I figure out exactly what to make the wings from then we will see another post...LOL
So what do you think? Too much?
I went back today and used a box cutter....
I love the way you described your sharpener "make-over"! hehe
ReplyDeleteDefinitely add wings to the sides, it will complete it!
