Eye Shadow Colored Hair

Hi!
My sweet little girl loves coloured hair but neither me or her want to : spend money and /or  have something permanent or even semi permanent on her hair so..we saw this on Facebook and tried to replicate  ...for fun ....and it kinda worked!

All you need:
- Dollar store or old eye shadows
- Drop of water

Just wet the pigment a tiny bit and with your hand spread on your strip of hair..

Green hair! lol



"Voila"!!!! And it lasts one day if you child loves to shower lol

5-min Doll Dress from Sweater Sleeve

Hi!
This one is an awesome idea and I can't take credit for it..it was all my creative girl's idea, and execution!
So proud of my 9 year old..my young crafter!
I recycle  old wool sweater into hats ( to be posted) and one day she asked me for one sleeve. 
I gave her and she came up with this:
...drum roll....
A beautiful and thrifty dress for her Kit Kitridge AG!
Fold sleeve in half
Cut the little tiny holes
Can you see?hehe



She also crafted a snazzy belt:)

American Doll Sofa from Costco Cardboard Box

Hi!

Mu daughter LOVES her American Dolls and has increasingly asked me to have all sorts of cute and $$$$ stuff for her..last one was a sofa. Not cheap ,not at all!
BUT, she was lucky when I glanced at a cardboard box from Costco I had in  the basement and I saw ...a sofa! 
Bear with me and follow these photographic steps...it is easy,just time consuming,but easy and cheap! Keeping up with the thrifty nature of this project, I hit the sale bin of my local fabric store and got the fabric, filling, and upholstery foam for $2,50 each!! I can hear my heart beat fast! lol







Hot glue, I love you!








now...some stretchy cotton...
Upholstery heavy duty stapler....I love you too!!



Trim the excess fabric
filling  + plastic bag..perfect !


For the cushions I used the foam saved form this project 
For this part, I took the foam to the sewing machine for basic sewing ...
In my opinion, the most sophisticated part of this project  haha..covered button for tufting  ...wow!


Needless to say...customer more than pleased!
