Finally someone else it proving that the people on pinterest that got this to work are from another world. I have tried it with yarn too- and it's just a hot mess, everytime. Glad I'm not the only one. Pinterest needs a button that says, tried it and failed. THANK YOU!!!

Hope it helps! xo, s

Have you made luminaries out of ice at Christmas? They are super easy and we line our sidewalk with them. It gets cold enough here. Very cute lanterns.

It seems like your Plan B turn out much better. See how easy it can be making something beautiful from just some things from the local hardware store or grocery store.
