. . . ripping off the bandaid . . .

. . . i could never be a nurse . . .
. . . i can't even stand 
the sight 
of bleeding paint . . .
. . . for me ~ 
taking off the tape 
is always nerve wracking . . .


. . . for years, 
i've used 
the tape and caulking 
trick . . .
. . . two problems with it:
1} there was always a little ridge
2} no skin left on my finger 
from smoothing caulk

. . . so this time, 
i used a new technique 
found on {usually} trusty 
pinterest . . .


. . . here it is in a nutshell . . .


. . . please visit
for a more detailed tutorial . . .
. . . i give it 
two very enthusiastic 
thumbs up . . .
