First off I've hurt my back decorating my daughters room and this has messed up my doll building! *sigh*... lets say it again *SIGH* I have been painting more toilets though... but bored with them now soooooo For this week I'm going to take you back in time to a little something I made some years ago  A glasses stand You will need a Toblerone tube A Fashion Royalty stand Sticky back plastic A large needle Fake mirror Glue Cover the Toblerone tube with sticky back plastic Cut a piece of 'mirror to size and glue on one side Use a pair of glasses to get dimensions and make pairs of holes for the glasses arms to go through using the large needle Make a hole in the centre of the Toblerone base for the pole to go up. If you need to make the base more solid you can always add a triangle of foam core board. Slide the Toblerone box onto the stand and fill with glasses!  Short but sweet this week (get it? sweet.... Toblerone is chocolate... OK, I give up)
