DIY Children's outfit made into a shirt

As a mom, I love shopping especially for my kids!!! Shopping constantly for clothes is fun but it gets waaaaay too expensive!  I normally purchase clothes one size larger than usual because kids grow so fast.

 

I bought these outfits not too long ago and then a couple of weeks after purchased, I tried to snap the outfits, but couldn't because she grew longer than the outfit, so what do I do?

 

 

Cut and sew!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's my daughter in one of the outfits!
 



 

ENJOY!!! HAVE FUN SEWING!!

 

THANK YOU FOR STOPPING BY!!!

DIY Large multiple tape dispenser

 

So, I bought tons of washi tapes from the Dollar store and not sure how I could keep them secure and can use it without the mess.

 

I figured, why not use the container to keep all my tapes secure?

So, here's how you can make your own large tape dispenser and you can do the same thing with the Reynold's Wrap container too!



 

What you would need:

• 1 empty Parchment container
• 1 Cardboard roll (I used an old empty wrapper) or you can just roll several pages of newspaper to fit the container
• Acrylic paint-I used small amount of white paint so it will be easier to see the decorations
• Washi tapes
• Optional: Adhesive Velcro strips

1. Paint the inside (lid and all)

2. Paint the front part and let it dry

3. Once it is dry, turn it over and paint the back and the lid

4. Let it sit and dry. Once it is completely dry, start decorating with those tapes!

Optional: Cut up three small strips of adhesive Velcro (approx. 0.5 inches) each and place them on the container to secure the tapes in place.
 

HOPE YOU ENJOY MAKING IT!!
Love these tapes!!!

Please post pictures, share your creativity!!!

How to make a star

   Several years ago, I folded paper into little stars and placed them into the jar, which I just found after cleaning out my basement.  I forgot that I wrote little messages in those little stars during one of the toughest times in my life and most stressful time in my life as a stress reliever....origami was also a good way for me to relax when I was in Nursing school. 

 

Here's how you can make a star with scrap papers:

 

1. Strip of paper, size measure of 1/2 in x 8 in. The wider the paper, the bigger the star.

2. Fold it into a knot towards one end (either left or right side).

3. Press down, fold the paper.

4. Turn it over.

5. Tuck the shorter end underneath as pictured.

6. Pull and fold the shorter end.

7. Turn over to the other side.

8. Tuck the longer end underneath as pictured.

9. Pull and tug the longer piece. Fold and press.



 

10: Tuck the shorter end underneath again to keep it secure.

11. Turn it over, keep folding it over each other buy following the shape of the pentagon. The more times you cover each side, the firmer the star will become.

12. Keep folding it around.

13. Once you have just a small piece left, you just have to tuck it underneath the fold to keep it secure.

14. Now, just pinch each corner with your fingernails.

WA LA!

Place them in fancy vase or hang them from the ceiling to decorate your home.

I hope you enjoyed making it!!!

Interchangeable hat decoration

So, there's a few things that you will notice about me, I am frugal but creative.

I had some old pins, head clips and headband decorations left, I decided to make something for my daughter and can be used multiple times, I created an interchangeable hat decoration.

So, this is what you need:

1.  Adhesive Velcro, decorations, and a hat

2.  Cut the Velcro into small pieces and placed them on the back of the decorations. I used the negative part onto the decorations rather than on the hat because I don't need to wash these in the washer, if I put it on the hat, higher chances of damaging other clothes in the washer and dryer.

3. Choose a location on the hat. If you prefer, you can sew this on, but I did not need to even after a couple of washes, the Velcro remained secured.

4.  Here are the end products

Optional: On my daughter's dresser door, I decided to put a long strip of Velcro onto the door to keep it secure and away from my daughter.

HOPE YOU FIND IT EASY AND FUN TO CREATE FOR YOUR LITTLE ONE!!
