When you want to throw something at your husband...

So back to the rollers (shown in the picture of Project 2: Doll House), well they were going to paint the base coat for the bean-bag toss "we" decided to make.  I use "we" loosely...Dustin decided he liked me better with all my appendages...so he became my cut man.  However, he talked me out of the base coat so I still have extra rollers but they are now in the basement instead of on the kitchen table.

This was actually pretty fun.  Here's what you need to get started...

4x6 Foot plywood board

a projector

transfer paper (you can't see it, it's invisible!)

paint, paint brushes and a black marker for tracing

Here's what you do:

Copy or draw a picture onto transfer paper.

Use the projector to display the desired image on the plywood

Trace the picture onto the plywood

Paint the picture

Have Dustin cut it out (with a jig-saw) and put hinges on the back so it will stand up and fold flat.

Use frozen milk jugs to hold down the glued boards which the hinges will be affixed to.

Meanwhile...

Made the bean -bags using a hankie (that's using a clean hankie not using a used hankie, just to clarify)

Cut  8 squares small enough to fit through the hole and sewed 3 sides of 2 squares together

Fill the 3/4 sewn bags with Northern Beans and sew the open side shut

Now they're full of beans too :)

Dusty is ready to go!  He is all ready for the Longview Farm Elementary School Carnival.

Why Dusty?  After Dustin...and from being stored for a year between carnivals...he is going to get pretty "Dusty"!  Can't wait to throw a hankie at a larger than life replica of my husband :)
