I saw a pretty cut out on Instagram last month that inspired me to create one. I thought it would be easy until I started making the pine cone pattern. I almost gave up because my first few kept on turning out as pineapples. So when I finally had a pattern that slightly resembled a pine cone, I was frantic.
I wanted to use a glass frame but it would be too expensive for this simple d.i.y. project. Instead, I opted to glue the cut out on a cardboard I covered with sheets of paper from an old pocket book. I made this cut out for Clauiee and Jeff so to go with it I inked this quote form Cassandra Clare:
“We Shadowhunters, we put ourselves in danger, every hour, every day. I think sometimes we are reckless with our hearts the way we are with our lives. When we give them away, we give every piece. And if we do not get what we so desperately need, how do we live?”
