Madeline Rose Wreath

A version of the Christmas wreath I did last year--I'll add that one to this blog a little closer to Christmas--this one is themed for the arrival of baby girl, Madeline Rose. I'm not going to go too in depth on how I made this--again, I'll save that for the Christmas wreath I'll add later. But some of the supplies I used were a wreath form, ribbon, an award pin, large/3D stickers, wooden lettes, favor boxes, paint, pipe cleaners, and hot glue.

For more pictures of this project--and a little bit more on how these items were used--please visit its posting on cutoutandkeep.net here!

Next project from me will be my "Afraid of Rats" pumpkin.

Redone Barbie Harley Quinn

Homemade isn't exactly the right term..."redone" fits better. This is an old, 5 minute craft Project Slinky and I partook in when we were living in the dorms. It began as me telling her how the official Barbie Harley Quinn looked like Barbie going as Harley Quinn, like for Halloween or something. So, we had an old, cheap Barbie with us...now that I think of it, I don't know why we did...and we redid her.

The Materials used were a black sharpie, a red marker, a photo of the cartoon Harley Quinn (for reference), white acrylic paint, red acrylic paint, and electrical tape.

We simply drew and colored in the basic pattern for Harley's outifit, pulled the doll's hair into pigtails, wrapped them in electrical tape, painted one side red, painted her white collar on...and volia! We also painted her face white, drew in her mask, and tried our best to color her lips the appropriate color. I think our Harley Barbie looks better than the actual Harley Barbie, don't you?

Sadly, my sister was messing around with this doll and the elecritcal tape came off. I have no idea where she is now. But, it's not like we couldn't redo it.
