So I started out to do a card, and then decided I would sew a Thanksgiving runner for the dining table real quick. I finished and told my girls 9 and 10 that they could pick their top favorite plastic cups, I was going to get rid of the bin that held all their cups and they could drink from glass now. They picked them out and place them in the cupboard I cleaned out. Now fast forward FIVE minutes, yes 5, I hear an awful crash in the kitchen. A child has just managed to get a glass to drop out of the cupboard and shatter in the sink. Luckily I was able to save the plastic cup as they had not actually left the house yet.
The sad news was this was one of my favorite glasses, I started with 4 and I am now down to one. They were my Grandma's and they remind me of having breakfast with her. I started looking at them closely and realized that there was an ippity stamp was very similar! I grabbed my bit of burlap and two oddball glasses in my cupboard to test it out! They turned out great! I am going to get some yellow staz-on and make myself a new set of glasses and put the last original yellow in my china cabinent.
Supplies:
lavender staz-on
drinking glass
bit of burlap ippity stamp

What a very cool idea! Sorry about your glass. It is always a bummer when your favorites end in pieces.
Oeh, how sad that glass was broken, but what a perfect and fun idea to make this with your burlap stamp!! That looks awesome! And you'll be able to get new glasses like this! Perfect!
Hugs, Wendy
