2 years after it's popular...we make them...

Soooo yesterday I was looking through the Instructables website. Btw, if you don't look at this website, you're basically a lame crafter. Because it's awesome. You can make like chainmale suits from soda can tabs and turn your T.V into a fish tank. Which I have ALWAYS wanted to do. How great would that be...like people walk in to your house and are all like, omg is that a fish tank tv, and you're all like...totally. Something like this:

Except I always worried about a leak or something. For example, I had this sweet globe-type fish tank that I kept my goldfish in then one day I came home to a tank with no water in it. And poor Winston was just laying there all dead and stuff. So I do what girls do...cry and freak out...then get THE NET. Well once I dumped the fish in the toilet so I could ceremoniously flush him (after a dead fish prayer of course, I mean, what do you think I am? Some cold hearted witch who flushes dead fish without a second thought?) I noticed that Winston wasn't actually dead...he just needed water. Toilet water. Anyway, my point is tv fish tanks would be great so long as it doesn't leak or you have a fish that can live on land, like mine.
THIS is totally what Winston needs!


Moooooving on...So I was on this website and I found like a gozillion directions for those little juice pouch wallets and I thought to myself "hey...those are sooooo 2 years ago, let's TOTALLY make those." So we did.

May I just say how entertaining it is to watch dudes sew? I mean, I know that's super gender biased and everything but, come on, that is ridiculous. Even they know it's ridiculous. Like the kid with the awesome 'fro freaked when I took his picture 'cause he didn't want his non-fro sporting friends to know he knew how to use a sewing machine. Even all the cheeto dust on his face couldn't hide the fact that this kid loved making faaaaaaabulous things. Which is undeniably awesome. We need more kids like that in this world.


Long story long we made some coin purses (or pouches for the dudes) and a few wallets. The whole process was pretty easy once you washed all the sticky stuff out of the inside. Bonus: Capri Suns are flippin delicious.
