Glow-in-the-Dark Penguin Family Portrait

Need a cute project to make with the kiddos? This Penguin Family Portrait is the right combination of simple yet fun, using materials from the dollar store combined with Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue and Puffy Paint Glow. And did I mention it glows in the dark?

Easy Fingerless Gloves Tutorial

My hands get really cold come the winter and for some reason my office is like an ice box if it's lower than 50 degrees outside. Since I still have to work even if my hands feel like ice cubes, I've started wearing fingerless gloves. And when I realized I could make my own, my collection grew like you wouldn't believe!

Glove Gussy Up

Did you hear that we are having a record breaking cold winter here in Texas? Temperatures in the 20's in central Texas is pretty dang cold. That being the case I have been thinking about how to spice up my winter wardrobe. Last week I brought you the Boom Boom Pow Ear Muffs. This week it's all about keeping your paws warm in style. Plain vintage gloves are a dime a dozen at the thrift store. In a world with fabric paint, glitter and fabric dye there is no good reason why they should stay that way.


MANICURED MITTS
Why should your lovely manicured nails stay hidden under a pair of gloves? Use a little Tulip Soft Fabric Paint to add some nails. Take a little Fabric Fusion Glue and some gold trim to add a ring. It took everything in my power to not make a pair gluing fake acrylic nails to the fingertips of a pair of gloves. I might just do it eventually. Thanks to my sister Hope for painting the nails!


CHILLED TO THE BONE
Grab a Tulip Sticky Fabric Stencil, Tulip Soft Fabric Paint and Tulip Fashion Glitter to take a plain pair of gloves to the next level.


DYE JOB
I found that majority of the gloves at the thrift store are white. Unless you are planning to swipe a dusty surface for a commercial or attend a debutante ball there is no real purpose for white gloves. Dye a different pair to match each of your jackets. I used Tulip One Step Fashion Dye in Aqua on this pair.

The possibilities are endless for keeping warm and oh so cute all winter long!
