HANDPAINTED GIRLS T-SHIRT

HANDPAINTED GIRLS T-SHIRT WITH CUTE GIRAFFE.

              Yesterday I was working on this project. My daughter has selected 'Giraffe' as her project for Kindergarten this year. I thought of a good idea of designing her T-shirt to go along with her project. She is a girl who loves pink and butterflies, flowers, princess etc. etc. So I knew she would definitely love this one. I first went and purchased a plain yellow T-shirt of her size. Then I made a rough sketch of the design and painted the same on it using fabric colors. In order to make it look more girlish, I added long eye-lashes, and little pink too. I added a butterfly and a flower for the tail using felt fabric. I added a tiny bow for the Giraffe too! It came out so well that my daughter is demanding a few more of different kinds.

 

 

 

 

                My daughter and myself had made a mask last year together, using foam sheets. It went so well with it. Here is the image of the mask too!

 

                I am planning to make a pair of hair clips or a headband to go with her T-shirt. So that is my next project. Keep waiting for more! Thanks for visiting my blog!  





 

 

PENCIL VASE FOR TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK.

PENCIL VASE FOR TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK.

According to the teacher's wish list, she had needed some pencils for her classroom. I had brought some packs of #2 pencils for my kids classroom. If I wished I could have given them as they came home but I am a person who loves good presentation. So how could I?
 I made a pencil vase with empty soda bottle ( re-using them) and I used some construction sheets to make some flowers. I decorated the empty soda bottle with foam sheet. And on the tag I wrote;

 

Pencils are #2,

 

Because you are #1.

 



My daughter enjoyed helping me paste the flowers and their centers. She arranged the pencils in the vase. 

RIBBON EMBROIDERY CORSAGE.

RIBBON EMBROIDERY CORSAGE.

This was my first attempt for ribbon embroidery. I wanted to try it since long. Finally I got an opportunity to do it today. I made this totally handmade gift for the Teacher Appreciation Week. This is made for my daughter's teacher. My daughter is extremely fond of pink and these pastel colors were in my mind since long.... I first did the embroidery on a plain pink fabric which I had purchased at Walmart.

I sandwiched some foam and a stabilizer to make it a little stiffer and joined the back and front using a sewing machine. I found a pretty pink button with a shimmer to go with it.

I packed it on a dark pink background. I hope her teacher loves it.

FOAM CRAFT PEN HOLDER

FOAM CRAFT PEN HOLDER.

 

Teacher appreciation week is going on..... So I decided to make some stuff for my kids each day. I got the idea to make this frog pen holder because my son's teacher uses froggies all over the classroom. I thought there wouldn't be any other great idea than this!                                                                    

 

 

 So all I did was first made a rough sketch on paper first then I traced it on the foam sheet and cut them out and hot glued them. That's all.....

 I covered an empty can with foam sheet and to avoid any sharp edges I covered  the edge with a border too.

 

 

 Lastly, I took a sharpie marker and made the dotted outlines and wrote a quotation using the word related to frog, 'HOPPY' instead of 'HAPPY' on purpose.

 

 

I hope the teacher likes her totally handmade gift which was specified on the flyer sent home last week.
