Exhibit 01...Well, the only evidence I need to convince my inner shopaholic to stop hoarding and get my sh*t together when it comes to buying craft supplies. I realized that if you stock up any embellishments for a long time that had a sticky backing the adhesive expires.
Imagine the scene where you actually decide to finally use that beautiful-no-longer-in-the-market-sticker and when you stick it to the paper it won't stick. Yeah, it was a terrible scene. Imagine again, if you buy A LOT of that stickers. Yes, what a nightmare. I've been there and done that several times. I thought I would never stop and learn a valuable lesson. But I did. No matter how cute a thing is, it will never equate to the horror on your face when you find out that your hoarding bites you back.
My solution: Sewing it directly and loving the final look. :)
