After attempting a couple last summer, I got discouraged and gave up. My sister wanted one earlier this year, so I modified my method a bit, and I'm finally really getting the hang of these! I've done a few custom orders and I love the way they're turning out. They're pretty time consuming, but a lot of fun.
Anyhow, I did a batch to list a couple of nights ago and I just LOVE how they turned out...

Hopefully they'll sell quickly so I'll have an excuse to make a bunch more!
