It would be neat to see what happens if you use some of the funkier colors (like the metallics or the swirls). <br />Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09611764295297526639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-35650330458470081542012-10-08T20:12:59.030-04:002012-10-08T20:12:59.030-04:00I made this today actually and was looking around ...I made this today actually and was looking around the internet for more ideas when I found this page.

You could even pre-paint the cardboard if you wanted your base to be a color other than brown.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141123092139829629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5255877501892467740.post-19954549938076354522011-11-26T09:22:04.026-05:002011-11-26T09:22:04.026-05:00I *think* it would, perhaps if it was set on high,...I *think* it would, perhaps if it was set on high, but I don't own a hair dryer, so I can't test it out.
