It was so nice to have a break for a few days.
Today we started making these. They are these really cool Christmas ornaments made out of string. All you really need it the string, glue, water, and a balloon. I tried a few different methods of glue+water+string, and the messiest option seems to be the best. Dipping the string in the glue causes knots and a weak structure. Painting on the glue after wrapping the string is almost a guaranteed collapse. Sticking your fingers in the watered-down glue and spreading it on the string right before wrapping it around? Winner! Tomorrow I'm going to try to make a larger version to hang from the ceiling using thicker thread and beach balls.
