Jenn: Getting Crafty
Posted by
Cara 
Ballerina has a competition this weekend. She has to perform two classical ballet pieces on pointe. She gets to wear a beautiful Tutu - borrowed from her studio - but a professional tutu made for the company. I had to create a hair piece for her. Last year she actually wore the same tutu - a black and gold number for Paquita, a Spanish inspired ballet. In her hair she wore a red rose similar to my before picture. This year she wanted something special - to make her stand out - see my "after" picture.
It's not hard to make - a faux rose from Michaels - some black tulle - gold glitter spray and a gold rhinestone accent. It tool me about 20 minutes once I decided what I was going to do. I had to deconstruct the flower and then put it back together how I wanted it with the tulle. Spray the gold glitter - hot glue the rhinestone and voila - done. Hope she likes it. I love to make things like this. It lets me be creative on a small scale. I am not painting a whole room or recovering a couch. I long to do those things too - but need to keep to my smaller scale crafting until I have more time (ie no kids!).
okay enough crafting and blogging for today - off to empty the dishwasher and fold the laundry.
Cara's two cents: LOVE IT!!!! It looks so much nicer than the one we saw at the Mayberry Street Fair! I am SURE Mae's gonna love it!!! Good job Mama!!
