More Zipper Flowers!

I watched a total of 17 episodes of Pushing Daisies yesterday online.  Some were hosted by the WB, but a few episodes I had to find on Megavideo and youtube.  I wish they would have continued that show, it was so cute!!!

But while I was a watching the Pie-maker solve mysteries for hours on end, I did make some zipper flowers.  So, I didn't waste my whole day. haha

I love the anchor center. I love nautical accessories.  This was originally green zipper. Add a little bleach, do a little rinse, dye it and tada! Summer!






I think this one is my new favorite.  I love the two colors together.


This was originally a gross brown zipper.  Who uses a brown zipper?  So I dyed it.  It looks very appropriate for autumn in my opinion. 

Yes, another nautical piece.  I love the two-tone on this one as well. Ohhh summer please don't ever end.

Peach Dress, Yellow Scarf

I made these!  The peach/orange dress was a reconstruction of a HUGE 'mom' dress..... tada, now it is adorable.  And the top hem is slightly ruffled.

And I made another V-neck scarf.




Owl Shower Curtain

So I really wanted to make my own shower curtain because buying artsy ones are expensive!  

So I bought a plain colored one at Target for less than $10, and then bought some puffy paint because it can be machine-washed.

Here it is!  The leaves glow in the dark- but my camera wouldn't pick them up.


The owl eyes glow as well (my mama painted the owl- how cute!)


Here is one picture showing us painting it.  We watered down the puffy paint to make it appear more bark-like.
