Better Late Than Never

Work Party

Had to make a costume with things from my home.

Won a gift certificate for this one. I was a rain cloud and it lit up.

Lobster costume for nautical themed party

You will need a fire fighter, devil, or valentine's related costume to alter, ping pong balls, black or blackened with marker stickers to cut into eye balls, oven mitts from eBay, pipe cleaners, red tights and shorts.

Remove details from red costume that don't fit, trace eye ball stickers using a dime, puncture ping pong balls with a pen, wrap pipe cleaners around a headband, use glitter eye makeup and a strong red lip.  Happy Halloween!

  

Should I start blogging again?

"School Picture Day" costume

                    

Had 1980s style "Laser" school picture background mounted on board.  

Drilled holes to string it and wear it like a backpack.

   I'll admit it was difficult to walk through a crowd with it, but it was a good conversation starter.

With the Patriots in the Superbowl, I was on the hunt this week for the perfect Patriots t shirt. There were a ton of tees meant for girls that fit the "pink hat" category, but I managed to find a great one in a men's small, and after bringing it home, I immediately cut the crew neck off, and shortened the waist.  But I wanted to show how to make the waist fit using a men's tee when there are no smalls available.  So I cut up an old men's Bruins tee and created a draw string pull in the back.

Hey is that a table cloth? Nope... It's a "shirt."

Put the "shirt" on and pinch the fabric together on your back, at your waist. Make dots where the material should touch.

I cut off names, because I don't know who the heck any of them are. Cut the neck small; it stretches larger than you'd imagine..

Save the layer that you cut off the back.  You'll use it to tie the back.

Make two folds and cut REALLY TINY holes where it will lace.  The holes stretch huge.

Lace that stuff that you cut off the neck down the corset you created on your back. You could also use shoe lace, which is "sporty." Whatever that is...

Suddenly you're incredibly, incredibly good looking.
