Gamora

Last year for my nieces birthday her parents threw her a super hero costume party. My niece immediately gave me a list of a million different people she wanted to be and after much dicussion and debate she decided on Gamora from Guardians of the Galaxy. 

First I had to figure out how to paint the leotard but have it stretched at the same time so I stuffed it with plastic bags to be stretched a little more then the actual size of my niece. I found some old demin fabric and painted it to look like the neck of Gamora's outfit. 

Next I took a pair of her jeans  and painted them added straps and a holster for whatever weapon she choose or to hold her juice box. After a couple fittings and adjustments it was finally the day of the party.

Got her into her leotard and started by painting her face green and using some purple and glitter facepaint to add details. Then we got her pants on and wet her hair to add the temporary red hair stuff top the ends of her hair. After that she was feeling herself just a little bit.

Last I touched up her green facepaint, put the green body paint and wrapped her hands in some black t-shirt fabric (as her gloves) and BOOM we have a mini Gamora.

Fun With Aunty Leni !

My boyfriend has two nieces and they both LOVE to do arts and crafts with me. So I have to think of new crafts and fun things for them to do. (You can only draw pictures so many times before it gets old) Strolling through the kids section in various stores I found a few plain pieces and decided I found my next craft for them. 

 First I found this dress for the oldest, Arielle, seeing as she wants to be an artist someday I figure she should look the part. lol

The next project I did with both girls and their cousin. I bought plain black skirts and paint one detail for each of them myself then told them to go WILD.

Wonder Woman Part II....

One day 

while I was babysitting  my boyfriends nieces the youngest one, Aliyna, decided she wanted to play dress up. Well unlike most people my age I have a bag of dress up stuff, old costumes from halloween and things I used when I worked in retail during the Fall months. She was instanly obsessed with my old wonder woman costume I made myself a couple years ago. So we safety pinned and tie the top and the belt on her and she insisted on wearing my boots (a size 8, shes 4 years old) 

Mini Wonder Woman 

check the boots!

almost wardrobe malfunction...

The she took the Cleopatra dress I made and declared herself QUEEN OF THE SUPERHEROS !

So after a day of being Wonder Woman and wearing my costume to Bob Evans (including the boots) I told her if she was good i'd make her her very own Wonder Woman costume. 

Everything except the crown...
