Yo Gabba Gabba Iron Transfers!

I was searching the internet for Yo Gabba Gabba craft ideas and found that on NickJr.'s website they have IRON ON TRANFERS!  Wow what a find!  Here's the link: Brobee Iron-On (they have all the characters on the website).  This is what I did with the transfers (and I made a fleece throw too!)




 Here's the throw I made:  Just bought the fleece (at Menard's for less than $2.00 each) and cut out shapes in felt, then sewed them on, and DONE!

Stained Glass

I've been fortunate enough to take a class at a local shop on how to create stained glass pieces.  Here's some of the work I've done (none are my own designs)

Crazy for Yo Gabba Gabba

Our second birthday came and went.   And for one week I hand-made a bunch of elements to incorporate into our Gabba theme.

Party Hat: I used foam and decided to make the heads of the gabba characters.  This is Foofa:
 Cut the head shape first,
 then eyes and pupils,
 added her petal necklace,
 and this is the finished Foofa.  I did her nose and mouth with pink sharpie.
 This is the end product.  I did it because I did not want to buy Yo Gabba Gabba party supplies online (cuz they aren't sold in stores).

Here's the cake and cupcakes I made to go with the hats:





Owl pillow to go with our owl quilt

 First I used 4 different colors of fleece that I found in the scrap bin at the craft store (total spent: <5 dollars)
 I cut out a owl shape
 Then cut out some wings, I fit them to the brown owl shape.
 Piece of fabric from the owl quilt
 I used the owl fabric as the belly
 Then placed the wings over it
 Made circles on fabric for the eyes (and small black circles for the pupils).
 Added it together and realized I needed a beak.
 Now I just needed to sew it
 DONE! One owl pillow for one owl quilt
I'm pretty pleased with it.

Valentines Day Project

 This is a great toddler/child valentine project.  All you need are: Heart doilies (dollar store), stickers (we used foam and foil stickers), crayons/markers, glue, paper, and scissors.




And this is what it looks like in the end:
