Today is a challenge.
Your mission if you choose to accept it is to identify this:
Front–
Back–
Details–They are each 22 inches long and 3 inches wide. The white strip seen on the back can be peeled away to reveal adhesive.

Do NOT despair if you are here late. This is not an easy mission if you choose to accept it. The mission will end 6/19/08 at 1:00 AM CST. I will announce the winner next Friday. You are ineligible to play if I have shown these to you in real life!
Hints:
1) These items were hand made for me.
2) They were made by someone who met me through/reads my blog (Thanks Julie!).
3) They were inspired by this post.
4) I will use them on all future beaver trapping expeditions.
5) I will use them in a way that is different then the original intention.
Good luck! For tips on how to further fight the frump…go visit Fussy!
I’m thinking the original intent was to fancy up your snake fighting boots however.. Holly being just so cool and holly, she will probably use them to put on teh corner of your minvan so you can realy see the spot you keep hitting your head. Or you will use them to cute something else up. Becouse you are Holly and there is no limit to what you can/will do…
ok… I don’t believe they are for fabric because the adhesive will wash off. I could see them going along a window sill or something, but i’m unsure…
I was thinking something completely crafty and fantastic until you mentioned beaver trapping. At that point, my very polluted brain thought “these are far too pretty to wax yourself with!” Which is truly just disgusting and i KNOW that’s not it…
To edge a photo frame?
To make a Beaver Collar?
Leash for your children? (other parents will criticize and yet comment on how truly lovely they are!)
I’m at a loss…
Those are crafting things that you are going to use on the bottom of a pair of lamp shades. How crafty of you!
They were made for you to wear with your pajamas, as a frilly kind of thing – to impress upon the golfers that you are one stylish young lady AND not one to mess with.
– However –
You will use them as a whip, of sorts, by putting the adhesive strips together, so you can have a “pretty” whip to knock snakes and crazy turtles upside the head. Especially if they think they are going to cease your hunt for beavers. 🙂
At least that’s what I would do.
Those are so pretty 🙂 Beaver trapping??? Oy,…ummm, I’m guessing those were handmade fringed trim for those snake fighting boots!
Headbands?
OK. Now I am dying to find out.
hmmm. they remind me of about the size of those velcro straps that people use to tie up their pants when they bike ride so that their pants don’t get caught in the gears. is that it? prettifying your straps for bike riding?
interesting challenge.
It’s pink duct tape. The plan is to put it over the mouth of the Professional Trapper if he ever sets foot on your property again. Which, at the current rate of felled trees…could be quite soon!
I was going to guess exactly what the first commenter, veronica said. Those would be some stylish boots!
Original intention: To stick around the legs of your shorty pjs, so that you won’t unknowingly flash anyone when checking traps.
Your use: As a muzzle for the beavers. When you finally get ’em.
