MAYA IN THE MOMENT CRAFT: Naughty & Nice Dog Collars

ChaCha models her new sparkly, hot pink glittery collar!

 Lady and the Tramp came out last week on DVD and it's one of my all-time favorite films! I love how the ultra pampered Lady hangs out with the streetwise Tramp and learns how to toughen up. A little bit naughty and alittle bit nice. 

It got me thinking about my two girl dogs - ChaCha and Bianca. 

I found two dog collars that would make you think they go with rowdy dogs and I glammed them up for ChaCha and Bianca. One of the has spikes and the other says "Bad to the Bone."

That way it reflects the spirit of both Lady... and Tramp too!

 Here is what you need: 

1 dog collar

Tulip® Fashion Glitter Bond™

 Crafty Chica® Chunky Glitters™(or other fabric glitters),  

Tulip® Glam-It-Up!™ Iron-On Crystals™ 

Tulip® Fabric Paintbrushes™

Tulip® Glam-It-Up!™ Fashion Art Tweezers™

Tulip® 3D Fashion Paint   

 Squeeze out some of the glitter adhesive and use the brush to apply it on the collar. If the surface is not porous, then rub it gently with sandpaper so the glue and glitter will grip. While the glue is still wet, pour the glitter all over.

 Let it dry and then add dots of glue and place crystals on top of the glitter. let dry.

 OK, for the second collar, I used Tulip 3D Glitter Dimensional Paint and added dots all over and then set crystals on top of the them. Let it dry. The paint acts as a glue and gives a glittery background!

Maya in the Moment: Christmas Pet Ornament!

It is final exam week at my school, but I'm still making time to craft. It's a great way to release the stress of AP English, let me tell you!

With 10 days left until Christmas, I decided to make ornaments of my dogs! Here is ChaCha!

Start with a wood  or paper mache ornament, paint it and add lots of Crafty Chica® Chunky Glitters™!

Print out a picture of your doggie and glue it with Collage Pauge® Instant Decoupage  in the center of your ornament.

Next, use Aleene's® Paper Glaze  to add an outline of green glitter. The reason I used Paper Glaze is that is has a tiny nozzle so you can make sharp lines. you squeeze it on and then pour the glitter. You can write words or do squiggles and it keeps its shape!

After you glue it down use Tulip® Puffy Paint™ to write the year and your doggie's name! Let it dry for an hour and then hang on your Christmas tree! You can also decorate the back side of the ornament if you want!
