Zippers

So, I finally got a day off, and I pumped out four more zippers! I've been finding a lot of black zippers at thrift stores, I wish I could find bright colored ones!

Here they are!

Zipper Flower Hair Piece- Pink Frosting

I think this pink one is so cute, I bet it would look really nice with a lacy top.

Zipper Flower Hair Piece- Victory

This one has a really nice crest button for the center. It's so unique!

Zipper Flower Hair Piece- Two Tone

This one is so feminine!

Zipper Flower Hair Piece- Sunflower

So this one looks like a reverse sunflower!

Halloween!

So I was Mother Nature for Halloween, and my inspirations actually came from youtube!

For the head piece I watched this great tutorial:

Nymph Crown by Petrilude

And I bought a twig wreath at Goodwill, which I tore apart. And almost all my leaves and flowers were from some awful Goodwill wedding centerpiece. haha

And for the dress I used this tutorial (except I added a zipper to mine):

Greek Goddess Halloween Costume by SecretLifeofaBionerd

The body of my dress was made from an old sheet, and the rest of the fabric/cord was from JoAnn's.

The makeup was done with many green/brown eyeshadows. And then I eyelash-glued all the leaves onto my face/body. They lasted almost the whole night. And the lashes are feathers!!!!

Happy crafting!!!

So, since I finished all of Pushing Daisies, I moved onto another show. My roommates were all out last night and I stayed in, and I discovered "HGTV Design Star" on Hulu.com. I watched the entire first season last night, four more seasons left. I like this show, it helps to give me DIY ideas.

I am also so excited because I joined a swap featuring Blogger on swap-bot.com and now actually have followers! YAY!!!!! *throws confetti*

And I made some more zipper flowers while watching Design Star.

Zipper Flower Hair Piece- Red Delicious

This is the first one I made with leaves. It is just so adorable!

Zipper Flower Hair Piece- Sunshine

I love the center on this flower, and it's bright like summertime!

Zipper Flower Hair Piece- Caribbean

This one feels really aquatic to me, and I promise it is blue and teal. Not green. I will not make green flowers. Awkward... haha

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

Zipper Flower Hair Piece- Orange

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!
