Yes, I photographed a cucumber then duplicated it on label sheets and cut them all out by hand. My eyeballs were falling off!

How did you make the doll spa slippers?
Shelley K wrote:
I used adhesive felt sheets and adhesive foam sheets then traced the dolls feet a little larger and that's how i got the template. I used ribbon and fastened it in between the felt and foam sheets by letting the adhesive stick to them. Very time consuming but worth it :)
