Duct Tape Thriller Jacket! 6 Days until Halloween!
UPDATE!!!! DEC 3, 2011: THIS IS ME IN MY FINISHED THRILLER JACKET! IT WAS AWESOME,BUT HOT! HALLOWEEN NIGHT WAS CHILLY, SO I WAS NOT MISERABLE IN IT! ON A CHILLY OCTOBER NIGHT..THERE WAS SWEAT....This is what i have done so far with my Duct Tape Thriller Jacket. I ran out of tape toward s the end. this project is inexspensive and fast, so if you haven't got it made by Friday, don't freak! Materials: 2 old t-shirts, at least 2 rolls of red duct tape(may need more depending on your shirt size), 1 roll of black duct tape, scissors, and measuring tape if u wanna get all fancy. I made mine a 3/4 sleeve length jacket just to make it a little more girly, but you could use a long sleeved t-shirt as your base if you want your design to be a little truer to the original Thriller Jacket.
Step 1: Choose 2 t-shirts. They should be about the same size.
Step 2: If you are going to make your sleeves 3/4 length, you will need to cut the sleevs off of one shirt and tape them to the first shirt. If you are going to make a long sleeve jacket, or keeping the sleeves short, skip this step.
Step 3: Cut your t-shirt straight down the middle in the fron to make your jacket opening.
Step 4: Begin applying tape. in my opinion, long vertical stripes look best.
Step 5: cut a v-shape out of your second t-shirt as seen above. Leeve the shirt collar attached to both the fron and back of the shirt. This will be the v-shape Thriller jacket cover. Cut down the frond of this shirt as well.
Step 6: Drape the v-shaoe shirt over your first shirt, and run out of red tape just when you are ready to attach the 2 shirts!
Step 7: Begin black trim.

Hair Flowers...
This is a simple way to store hair flowers. I began wearing hair flowers almost daily when I started wearing my hair curly. I knew I needed a way to store them if i wanted to keep up with them. I actually have tons of other flowers (they are not lost..I don't think). I made most of these and will show you how soon! The hair flower holder is basically some extra ribbon I had left over from another project. I used a push pin to attach it to the medicine cabinet (Pay no attention to the sticker residue..I just ripped a sticker off of the cabinet because I thought the sticker ruined my shot..to be honest I would rather have the sticker in the shot.)
Tutus!
These are the tutus that I have made so far. It all started with the Razzle Dazzle Halloween tutu that I made for my DD. The next thing I know Princess Dazzle was born! My favorites are the onsie tutus.
Pillocase Dress!
I have been wanting to make one of these for a while! I saw a little girl wearing a dress made similarly to the one here, and immediately called my mother to tell her about this incredibly simple looking dress. She said, "Why don't you just make it out of a pillow case?" I googled pillow case dress and voila! That is exactly what the little girl's dress was made out of! I will be posting a tutorial the next time I make one. Tip- Us e a wider ribbon..#What was I thinking? disaster! She had wardrobe malfunctions all day!
