Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade ... Twist Off - I Think Not!

mike's hard cranberry lemonade is tasty ... but i have one lil complaint.  the verbiage "twist off" should be removed.  they really aren't twist offs ... believe me.

"twist off" bottle cap ... i think not

wine bottle mannequin

i learned this evening that a wine bottle makes a stellar mannequin.

every time i finish a project, i ask a member of my family to model it so i can brag a lil on the internet.  i get lucky sometimes, but more times than not, i get a mismatch - like evan modelling dylan's hat ... if you don't know me, then this means  a 7 year old (now 8) modelling a 17 yr old item. it's way too big, but you get to see the finished product.

well, this problem is solved - for hats anyway.  see, a wine bottle works well for modelling hats :)

how to make a pom pom

materials: pom pom maker (or cut out cardboard which is a pain in the ass), scissors and yarn (wine optional, computer not needed at all)

wrap yarn around pom pom maker

once both sides have yarnage, close the pom pom maker and cut edges of pom pom.  then, wrap a piece of the same yarn around the pom pom and knot in place and attach in the most inconspicuous way (darning needles help tremendously)

doneski ... booyah.
