As much as I love the paper towel roll projects I’ve seen around Pinterest, let’s face the facts. These project often take many, many rolls of paper towels or toilet paper, and the used rolls have to go somewhere, not to mention I would have to wait until I’ve stocked up enough. I am an instant-gratification kind of gal, so this just isn’t my thing.

As cute as these suckers are, who has the time? Printed labels, cut straws, caramel drizzle.. yowza! Major props to Kim because these are extremely impressive.

A light source that needs to go in the attic? Say what? This is beautiful, but the average Joe (or.. Martha) doesn’t have time for these shenanigans.

Trust me, I’ve thought about this, but the carving is too detailed and too precise.. I just can’t live up to these expectations!
