Customizing: Hawaiian flower chain

[dieastra]

When I have an idea, then I have an idea. I don't want to wait till Monday to go to the craft shop to buy supplies, it has to be done immediately or never! So today within a few hours, using colored paper that is in my stash since my childhood (seriously, original East Germany papers here) and a punch that I bought years ago, I made this flower chain.

I used the fish that is the second from left, and cut off the biggest fin. Don't tell anyone... I also used little beads that are even from my mother's childhood to separate the paper snippets, otherwise I would have had to make three times as many and it was hard work as it was.

This is a teaser preview for a proper Alfred on vacation picture! Stay tuned!

Ha! How good it is to have good old supplies - AND an inventive mind AND endless patience! Well done! Haha, looking at Alfred´s face, he is not prepared for "hula-hula"...LOL

Haha, no, he does not look in the mood at all! I need to cheer him up. I will switch his head onto a body that wears a Hawaii shirt ;) Let's see what he thinks then!

Thank you! It took a lot of patience and at one point I almost wanted to leave it for another day but in the end it worked out the way I wanted.
