So to start off this week's craft project, I will indicate where I got the (free) materials! http://www.decorativefilm.com/index.asp
Last time I was in home depot there was a section dedicated to decorative window films - essentially providing the look of stained glass without breaking the bank (and without having the issues of stained glass windows: difficult to clean, usually not double paned, etc). I thought what a great idea, but I have no windows. So, I left with the knowledge of the product's existence but no real application for myself. The other day, I happened to think of it and googled to see if there were other designs (the other downfall- I didn't really care for any of the images they had in stock). I found the site that is linked above and saw that they will send free samples!!! The samples are roughly 7" by 5" but there is a sticker indicating the shade/style which ruins a small portion of that rectangle. KEY POINT: their website says to limit it to 5, but if you go back and order again, you can do another 5 and so on. Faulty for them, awesome for us! I am still on the fence as to which colors, designs and transparencies to use, though I have 9 to choose from (the teacher in my couldn't resist ordering the dry erase sample, but I will not be using that for the project). I have decided that I will use 4 total... so for you mathies out there, that is 9 C 4 (9 combination 4) = 126 different combinations!!!!!! More details to come as the project evolves!!! Over use of exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas on what I could be doing? Does it help if I remind you that I am not crafty OR creative? So probably not this:
But this is reasonable:
Also, you guys should totally do this too, OK so maybe we'd run this company out of business by getting one too many samples, but remember I mentioned that this is on a small scale as a test for something I'd like to do in the future on a much larger scale, so I'd totally pay them back for their love.
