Make a Bow Tie Necklace

Another post today!  If you want to add a little glam and style to spice up an outfit then the bow tie necklace is for you!
You're going to need:
-felt
-hot glue gun
-scissors
-necklace chain (You can find these at a craft store.)

Cut a rectangle of felt about an inch wide and 3 inches long.

Pinch the rectangle in the middle to make a bow shape.

Add a tiny dab of hot glue just enough to barely hold the pinch together.  This is very important.  Use the smallest bit of glue as possible.

Cut another strip of felt about a 1/2 inch wide and 2 1/2-3 inches long.

Place the bow on top of the chain.  Make sure to line the bow up so its exactly in the middle.  Push the chain up in to the pinch.

Wrap the other piece of felt around the bow and chain to hold them together.  Hot glue the end in place.

You're finished!

Make a T-Shirt Braided Bracelet

Hey all DIY and fashion lovers!  Listen up, do you love super simple, quick and easy DIYs that you can wear right away?  Well then, I have the answer for you.  It's called.....(drum roll please)....a t-shirt braided bracelet.  Yup, that's right, you can whip dozens of these up in a few minutes.  Let's get started.
You're going to need:
-old t-shirt
-scissors
-tape
-sewing machine or thread and needle


Cut out three strips of fabric, about a 1/2 inch wide and 5-7 inches long.  (Your not going to use all of the 5-7 inches, this is just for caution and the fact that it will depend on how tight/loose you will want it.)

Tape the ends to the floor and braid like you would for a friendship bracelet.  (If that's what you do, I'm not quite sure since I've never made one.)

Fold and put the ends together.  Then sew a straight line about an inch away from the fold.  And your finished!  Wasn't that super easy?  There are so many fun color options.  Have fun with it!

A Tour of our Store Scene

Hey guys!  It's Nadia and Elizabeth here again.  Today we are going to give you a tour of our store scene which was used in one of our lastest stopmotions. 

First we have the store front.  We used a lid with  flap and removed the flap.  We covered the lid with brick paper printed off from Google.  We added a sign, a Christmas tree, and a dress form in some clothes.

In this photo it shows you the whole store scene.  We took  big piece of cardbord, folded it in half and added some wrapping paper for wallpaper.  We took some thick posterboard and covered it in another fun printed wrapping paper and tapped it to theside of the cardboard.  On the other side we taped the store front window.

Here we have one side.  We used double sided tape to attach some hats for a ht display.  We added a little bench made from a tissue box.  We first taped on a rectangle of cardboard to the top the same size as the box then covered the top in wrapping paper.  We added some ribbon to cover the edge of the wrapping paper. 

This is the back wall.  We made  dressing room by cutting out a square bigger than the dolls head, taping the end to the wall, and then we put two dowels on the other corners that aren't touching the wall.  We then cover it in fabric and added a little bow.  We used a small jewelry chest with drawers to display the shoes.
