When the Decorative Skin On Your Old Pocket Knife Cracks And Falls Off…<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Like a lot of boys, my son Fisher was given a Swiss Army Knife for carving sticks when we go camping. Of course he is not allowed to just play with<\/span> it whenever he wants. It is for supervised situations around the campfire where we all get a chance to be outdoorsy together.
\n <\/span><\/p>\n

Fisher’s knife was actually mine from when I was a little. My husband Doug also had a pocket knife when he was a kid… which our daughter Willow now has. No gender roles in this family.<\/span><\/p>\n

So to make a short story long, the decorative plastic side on Fisher’s knife ended up breaking off, leaving him with a workable but dilapidated looking knife. And the fact that Willow’s knife was still in great shape, certainly didn’t help matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well the other day I came across the ‘sideless’ knife and decided to use my polymer clay faux wood recipes<\/a> to give it some new life. You can see the result in the photo above. The initials were added using a rubber stamp.<\/span><\/p>\n

One more Christmas stocking stuffer done! Of course now his sister is going to be complaining about her knife not being as cool as his! And so the battle goes!<\/span><\/p>\n
