Have you ever done one of those diamond art pictures? You know, where you place individual tiny jewels on a sticky mat to create a picture? They are fun to do but they take forever. And then when you are done what are you supposed to do with them? Well, I decided to buy a simple black tray from amazon. I trimmed away the excess sticky paper to fit the tray and then I poured resin over the top. Permanently preserved and now has a use. It turned out great and I'm so glad I did it.
I recently went to the Oogie Boogie Halloween Party at Disneyland and wanted matching shirts to wear for me and my boyfriend. I love Nightmare before Christmas so of course I had to do Jack Skellington. I just got black t-shirts and used a stencil I cut from my silhouette machine. Then I just used bleach. They came out awesome! I would just caution to not use too much bleach or it will eat holes in the shirt. I ended up doing a painted version.
Have you ever been to the Halloween Oogie Boogie Bash at Disneyland? Well technically it takes place at California Adventure. Anyway, it is a lot of fun! My boyfriend and I dressed up as Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin. We got so many compliments and we had the best time. I have found that a small shoulder bag is a great item to bring when doing a Disneyland trip. You can keep a wallet and keys, hand sanitizer and snacks in there. I found this greenish bag at target and immediately saw potential to transform it into a themed Oogie Boogie bag. So here is the before and after. I had bought boogie boogie dice and didnt want to ruin them by putting in a screw so I made a mold and cast some new ones. It was a simple little project. Just mostly sewed some stitching along the edges. Made the dice keychains and ironed on the boogie boogie patch.
