i hope this counts as a craft. i felt quite crafty doing it.

so when i was in egypt last summer, i acquired a papyrus that became the bane of my existence. from the moment i set eyes on it in the papyrus museum (if ever you are in egypt and see the words "papyrus museum," RUN AWAY!!!), to it taking up ALL the room in my suitcase on the way home (it's HUGE), to trying to get it framed.

when i took it to aaron brothers, the best quote they could give me was over $500. and being a poor college student, if i had an extra $500 to throw around, it would not be to get my papyrus framed.

so i took a little visit to the craft store. a piece of foam core board, some velvet, acid-free fabric glue, and a picture hanging kit later, it was hanging on my wall at the fraction of the price i was quoted.
