Our First Pumpkin Patch

Craft Time: Malachi's Tinkerbell Costume

Here is my gorgeous daughter in her finished costume!

This is a NO-sew costume! It cost me $10 for the materials (not counting in the glue because I already had that) and it took about 45 minutes-1 hour to make it all. :) And yes, this concept was a Pinterest inspired.

Materials: Kids size small tee, sequin ribbon, and some fabric samples

Tools: Scissors, Tacky glue, and time. (Note: Tacky glue, is NOT meant for fabrics that will be washed and re-used)

Cut the neck out. You'll cut the rest of the shirt into strips.

Cut strips out of the t-shirt up to the neck. And then cut the sleeves into strips, too.

Cut off seams along the bottom and sides.

Cut the other fabrics into strips as well.

Tie strips around the neck of the t-shirt.

Mix them around, make  sure the loose ends got tucked in while tying.

Glue sequins around the neck for some flare!

Glue sequins to two shorter pieces of fabric for a belt you can easily tie! 

Tah-dah!

Day One

Today I received one of my birthday presents early... It is called "wreck this journal". Each page asks, or demands, that you do strange and destructive things to your journal as you go through your day, week, life, whatever! I saw pictures of a lady's that did it and I loved the creative open this book gives its owner. So, today I gave the journal to Malachi and let her drool, crinkle, and throw it around... I think she'll take part in many of the activities with me- you know, since she's pretty destructive.
