Disney Princess Hair Bow/Memoribilia Holder
I made these for my bf’s cousins for their Communion this weekend. They are a spin off of the ribbon hair bow holders my sister and I had as children. Instead of a ribbon on a hook, there are multiple ribbons coming off of a bodice. I designed them to look like the girls’ favorite Disney Princesses–two Aurora’s (Sleeping Beauty) and one Belle (Beauty and the Beast). I used masonite for the bodice, and sewed a little “slipcover” for it out of the fabric. I then gathered tulle and organza for the skirt, and cut ribbons to hang the hair bows off of. Add some ribbon, pearls, flowers, mini clothespins and extra tulle, and you’ve got a Princess Hair Bow holder!

More Fused Glass
I spent a lot of my free time last few weeks in the crafts studio at school. I was also able to finally teach my group how to fuse glass last Tuesday. Here’s my latest batch of fused glass.
And, as of last week, I am also the proud new owner of a kiln! I found a “Free to a creative home” kiln on Craig’s List, and I went up to Red Bank last Tuesday to pick it up. The woman inherited the kiln from a friend, but has never used it, so here’s hoping it actually works!
Here is some of my newest fused glass. There’s not too much here because I wasn’t too pleased how a lot of them came out, and I had quite a few that cracked during the cooling stage.
Fireworks (this one is very dimensional in person)
and that’s it! I only have 2 more weeks of school, so there won’t be many more 😦
It was fun though!
