Pinspiration Thursday

Hey gang,

Yesterday I showed you my baby's Star Wars-themed birthday party.  Today I'll show you which of those fun crafty decorations started out as pins!  Hint: it's not just one!

A note about this project: I followed the tutorial at 320 Sycamore exactly and got pretty darn good results. My paper bubbled a little because of the kind of wood I used, but its not very obvious in person.  Here you see the lights flashing, so you can't see all of ours (by the way, they are red because my son wanted his to be his favorite color).  Okay so on the lights: I had a set of 30 and they didn't reach all the holes!  I ended up using a set of 100, so if in doubt buy the larger strand of lights.
