March is Craft Month

(Not just crochet, but crochet is of course my favorite craft!)

Here are a few examples:

This is a photo of a shadow box in progress, I haven't posted it yet but it is finished.

Fabric lined tray.

Soap pump made from a caning jar.

Wooden bookshelf Bill made for the library books which always need a place to park.

Otter made this cat ears headband for one of her early cosplay attempts.

Fabric covered bulletin boad.

Fabric covered mouse pad.

All of these with the exception of the shadow box have either been on this blog or on the main blog.

Get crafting!

Kitty Cat Ears Headband

This is what Otter made for the anime convention she went to a week ago.  This is actually the set that she made for BF, he was a good sport about it and wore them.  They are brown felt, 2 layers with a layer of posterboard between them for stiffness.  The lighter inner color is tan acrylic paint, two coats with a little extra touch up.  The headband was one that she got at Hobby Lobby, it's covered in a brown satin-type fabric.  The ears were hot-glued on and I had to help her with that because the headband had to be held in the shape of the wearer's head for that step.  Basically, Otter covered her head with a hand towel and then a sheet of wax paper.  Then she put the headband on her head over that and I took the glue gun to it.  She had to hold it on her head for a few minutes, long enough for the glue to harden and cool.  It actually looked pretty good "in person" and held up well.  The fuzzy thing on the side of the picture is one of the tails - it was a feathered boa that was hot-glued to a pinback so it could be attached.
