Everyone knows that sorority girls get abnormally excited (and stressed) over any and all crafting opportunities. What better way to show your sisters some love than with a personalized paddle covered in pearls? In an ideal world, we could all make Pinterest worthy creations that put Martha Stewart to shame.
Ask any sorority girl and she will tell you: it's not as easy as it looks. We spend countless hours (and paychecks) on crafting gifts for our bigs, littles and friends. Basically, sorority girls are Michael’s most frequent customers and probably know the store better than the actual employees. Any special occasion is an excuse to break out the canvases and mason jars. Crafting is a long process that takes planning, supplies, lots of time and excessive amounts of glitter.
1. What would I do without Pinterest? There’s so many different pretty things I want to make my little..
2. (45 pages later) Ok, I still cant decide if I want to make a paddle or a pillow.
3. Oh my god. This one’s perfect. It looks so cute and it’s soo my little!
4. All I need is a canvas, pearls, rhinestones, paintbrushes, glitter, stencils and glue. Sounds easy enough.
5. Walking into Michaels like...
6. Have I really been here for two hours? I need to finish shopping and start crafting...just one more trip down the paint aisle.
7. I’m sorry, what did she say the total was???

9. My little better love me...
10. I’m so excited to start! This is gonna be adorable.
11. (2 hours later) Ok, I’m almost done with the base coat.
12. Who knew it would be so difficult to write three letters?
13. If this paint doesn’t dry in five minutes, I’m going to lose it.
14. I really should have paid someone to do this for me.
15. This looks nothing like the picture…
16. Time to call in the sisters for some help.
17. I’m sure they really want to spend their Thursday night glueing 1,000 rhinestones.
18. So many burns from this glue gun.
19. I’m not crafty. I don’t know why I thought this would be fun.
20. It was fun like 3 hours ago.
21. I could probably buy something like this online.
22. Too late now...
23. I care more about how this turns out than I do about my Econ quiz tomorrow. Is that bad?
24. Nah.
25.I really should have bought more glitter.
