Do you remember, as a kid, watching Blue Peter and being amazed at how their craft projects Just Worked? At home, you faffed about with Pritt stick that didn't stick, and models that unrolled themselves as soon as you turned your back.

Tonight I have been making myself a Despicable Me shrink ray for a fancy-dress New Year party. I used blue cardboard, black tissue paper, gold card recycled from last New Year's costume and... Superglue.

Take some stiff card. Roll it into a tube. Apply glue. And it Just Sticks. It's bloody marvellous. Mind you, I did stick my shrink ray to my fingers a couple of times. Swings and roundabouts.

An idea stolen from

the_alchemist...

The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me!

My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

* I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.
* What I create will be with you in mind (in so far as I know you).
* It'll be done sometime this year (2009).
* You have no clue what it's going to be. It may be something written, some physical thing made, could be anything at all, but I will make it myself. It's entirely my choice what it is. No quibbles, no refunds.
* I reserve the right to do something extremely strange (I have been known to post wholemeal cakes to people before now).

The catch?

The catch is that you put this in your journal as well. If you don't, you don't get anything.
