DIY: CHEESE SLICER WITH PEARL SHAFT
This DIY is really simple (I think you can understand when you see the picture how I did it, haha) but it's more the idea that is the inspiration. A few weeks ago it occurred to me that I have never seen a beautiful cheese slicer. So I decided to pimp one of ours with pearls! I ordered pearls and asked in a store what glue I needed and the other day I made it. It was very fiddly but it didn't take as many hours as one might think. After 1.5 hours of deep concentration, I had this in my hand! I am super happy with it.
You simply just glue the pearls on the shaft one by one. It is easiest to first put a little glue on the surface you want to use and then press the pearl to your finger with the fine side inwards so that you can just push the pearl in place. This is easier if your fingers are a little damp so you can have a damp cloth next to you. It's very difficult to keep the pearls in straight lines and but try to plan before attaching a pearl to make it as smooth as possible! When all the beads are attached, you can let it dry for an hour and then you can start using it!
