Owl always love you...

This is the valentine I gave my girl this year. Owls seem to have become a theme!

It is a pillowbox cut from a friends Cricut cartridge. We then cut a piece of paper the same size as the front, used I giant circle punch to punch all four sides to make a vest, and glued that down. I meant to ink the edges of the vest, but forgot, so I inked the edges of the whole box instead. Then we attached bottle caps as eyes. They had a slightly bigger circle attached to the back of them that we fringed after gluon on to make eyelashes. Inside the bottle caps was a large white circle and a smaller black one for the eyes. It is then embellished with a little flower. You can put candy (kisses won't fit, so Hershey miniatures work best), and write a note on the back. I wrote "Owl always love you. Love, Mommy" <3

Alice costumes...

This is the costume I designed for the Queen of Hearts cards in my daughters production of "Alice in Wonderland" in January. They are pillowcases, with holes made for arms and head. The number and heart are felt that was ironed on. Pretty neat, if you ask me! Total cost was about $3, as the pillow cases were donated by Goodwill, and all I needed to buy was the felt for 8 cards. Yay, BAAY!
