[Part 1: how not to do it!]
Hello tout le monde,
here's the tale of my first attempt at making my own markers.
The idea was to make them as easy and low cost as I could, using the materials I would normally use.
First, I've designed and printed the makers on paper:
Then, I wanted to glue it on some foamboard:
But of course, as Murphy would have it, just after having applied the glue, the foamboard fell down (wrong side down) in the dirt (observe the mouse droppings):
I - or rather my wife - managed to save the foamboard and to glue the printout onto it:
First cut in chuncks:
Then cut the finer parts:
Drill the holes and slip the marker onto the topmost peg, voilą:
And, finally, discover that it looks like SH!T...
So, that's not it then, is it?
Well, we'll see what it's become since in the next post!
