Kitty Cats Condo

This time I worked on a bigger and more time consuming project, working together with my friend to make a cat condo for her 6 cats.

I had a piece in my house that just fit the idea I had in my head. My husband made this furniture/stairs that would be nice for the cats to climb.
So first I let my friend pick the colors she wanted, then we painted together.
After that, since she is an art teacher, she painted her cats faces.

While she painted the faces, I cut and glue the carpet that she picked at Target,
We also went together to JoAnn's fabrics, so she chose some fabrics and I made pillows to make them little beds.

And last I made some stairs for the cats to climb to the third floor apartment.
So now it is finished.
I can't wait to see the cats climbing on their house!

Frozen Party

I finally had a chance to make a Frozen themed decoration!!
This is for my son's drama club party, after they performed Frozen Jr. this year.

My idea was to have some sort of packaged snack that would be easy to transport, but could be used as a centerpiece.
And I decided to make my favorite character to be on top.

I made Olaf using air dry clay, just because it is lighter and I don't need to bake.

Then I decorated a cardboard tube for Olaf.
For the base I used a clear plastic cover from a cake I bought at the grocery store, placed upside down, decorated with snowflakes and made signs with my Cricut.
I bought Entermman's glazed donut holes and out in small cups and called them "buckets of snow".
This will be easy to transport and should survive in the bag until school is finished for their party.
I hope the piece stays intact until party time and the kids get to enjoy.
Yay!

Cardboard Haunted House.

I was done with Halloween costumes 3 days ahead and thought I would rest until then. But looking at some pictures of Halloween houses, I really got itchy to make a box house.
Growing up I always wanted a doll house, and there was never a box big enough to make a house. But lucky I kept some boxes of out bathroom renovation from the Summer.
I pulled all the boxes I had and started to build the house. It was a lot of cutting, ripping a lots of glue gun.
After painting all over, I could add the details. The paper figures I cut in my Cricut, the cute Halloween faces are buttons I found at AC Moore and the drawings my son made.

My son that fits in the box is planning to give out candy from inside the house. Hopefully it will work well.
