I actually wrote this a few months ago and don’t know why I never posted it.  Hmm.  Mysterious.  So when I say “last night,” I really mean many, many nights ago. :)

Fabric stiffener.  Well, it works.  It’s not my favorite smell ever, and it left me a little worried that I had ruined an otherwise lovely creation.  But it worked.

I tried this little holey vase in various places throughout the house, holding different objects for a day at a time.  This lasted for 2 weeks.

It now holds the pens on Evan’s desk.

Much to his surprise.

Last night he picked it up and said with wonderment, “Where did this come from?”

“I made it,” I replied.

“Oh.  That’s really cool… You should blog about this.”

And so I am. :)

When I crocheted this (pattern from Uncommon Crochet), I checked the base to make sure it would fit snugly around a cylindrical glass.  Then, I just followed the directions on the bottle of fabric stiffener, slipped my creation over the bottom of the plastic-wrap-covered-glass and let it dry upside-down overnight.
