Customized black jacket into tailcoat! Blog no: 38!

Hi bloggers, readers, friends! today i go some sad news that one of my firends from queensland died in a car crash and i am very sad for him. This weekend one of my best friend comes down and visits me! yay and i have a big party for another one of my friends! any who this is some of my costume for the party! i used an old black jacket i brought from an OP shop acturally i think i was given this for free...? i don't know?! anywho that how long i've had it! i drew out a chalk shape of wear i wanted it to sit and i cut 2cm around the shape. it's harder to sew on the tail coat points and center back line. I replaced the buttons to a more flashy golden kind. i added a small floded over triangle out of the crap fabric to create a small buckle at the back. sorry about the back photos.

Barbie video Bag! Blog no: 37!

This is my mega cool! mega girly! mega glam! handbag i made for fun yay! i used a simple video case (barbie one! best movie ever! talk more about it later)
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
* video tape box of something you love
* lace
* thread
* lost of small colourful beads
* two large beads
* drill
* hot glue gun

i drilled (hardest part) two holes in the plastic side of tape (important not to go through any parts that hold the box together) and threaded a large bead to hold the beading through the hole to hold the chain same is done on other side. I used a hot glue gun to fasten the lace around the tape. it's easy and cute!

There is acturally a long story about this flick! i brought it in an op shop exspecting barbie and got...bugs bunny! wahhhhh i was so upset!!!! but lucky i found it in another op shop while shoppin with my mates yay! in another case which is no where as cute as this featured case but the film! wow! barbie and her glam rock band from the future gets stuck in the 1950's via her spaceship getting stuck in a time tunnel. quote from casset "BARBIE and her friends can't wait to join the kids down at the ice-cream parlour for a be-boppin' rock'n' rollin' good time!"
wow this is one amazing vid! go barbie! go the 80s! go caratoons! it has many singing clips in it with quite fun songs! "Have a blast from the past with BARBIE!"

Easy craft bags! Blog no: 36!

Behold the most easy way to pimp up your bags! these fabric bags are 90cents and lincraft! you'd have to be stupid to fail at this craft activity!
what you'll need:
* fabric paint (we used black)
* lincraft bags 90cents (colours: white, red and green)
* newspaper (fold it in half and put in bag so the ink does not sink through)
* thin paint brush and glass was water to wash paint out.
When paint is dry on bag i suggest you turn it inside out and iron it.
I love the fact that you can do anything on the bag! just run wild you know! witty sayings! drawings, maccers ANYTHING!
also when you think about it you can do this to anything! get creative!

FINALLY DOLL HEADDRESS!! Blog no: 35!

I don't know how the idea came to me but it was after i started to create sofites with doll faces! you see i had all these body parts and i mind began a ticking! i needed a hat and a necklace if there were some to spare! I didn't want to waste any part of the doll! so i saved up every arm, leg and chest of my dolls to create the most wonderful headdress in the world!!! the idea was to make it in a fan shape drawing for victorian lady hats! i brought the base for the hat a lin craft for about $12 among with lots of other craft stuff i waste my money on there!
but it was worth it cos i do not love a human child as much as i love this head peice!
i show boo (my twin) it and she nearly cried and asked me to take it off! i let her wear it and she asked me to take it off! i jumped infont of uni buddy who picks me up and she screamed! and asked me not to wear it at uni! that was the same advice my mum gave me too! but i did wear the necklace and by god i'm wearing it on tuesday! I used a hot gluegun fasten it to the head band and had to snip at it to make it stand up. i used a demn pin to perice the plastic to thread the necklace! wonderful!!!

Barbie Headed snail Baby! Blog no: 34!

So yeah it's been ages since i posted and yes made a softie this one i made ages ago and pattern wise not my best. however this snail baby had a barbie head with dyed pink hair and very glam rock face make up (blue glitter glue used). I beaded shiny bead and button into her hair with a demn pin. Btw her hair used to be this blond knot so i took a page from a 5 year old and gave it a random punk chop. i swear i have never done this to a barbie ever before! I found the doll in an op shop in queensland and sent it to my self down here. i was very inflenced by david bowie at the time i believe! go the felt lighten bolts!

love, elisa from space!

p.s. Back at Uni

Bug's slippers and cartoons, G! Blog no: 33!

Today i present you images of a gift Jazmine and me made for our firends 19th b'day dinner party. These slippers i assume where some hotel and cost a doller from an OP shop. god know how much all those buttons cost me! i am proud of the wire feelers on the lady bugs. all glued down by a hot glue gun.
Along with this we painted on a 90cents fabric bag saying: i don't eat meat, G! just so you know the "G" it was my contribution cos i'm so ganster. acturally i find that type of humor i just said pretty worn out. anyways i used felt for the lady bugs and the spelling out of her nick name "bug". it's not my nickname for her
but still.
my sister just read me a funny article on the 80's cartoon Jem and the holograms. from the website www.retrojunk.com and they do heaps of other shows for the 70s, 80s and 90s! i was born in 1990 so i got to watch the cartoons from the 80s that had some lastablitty. like Kimba the white lion (resently got tape of some eps for 50cents), lady lovely locks, dragan ball, strawberry short cake, sailor moon and etc. though i was younge enough to watch all the 90s disney and nick classics. such as aliadan, beatuy and the beast and pokeamon. yes i got it good! nun of this yugioh GX crap! only the original! i no longer get cartoons to day! american dragon...?! how did i loose touch?! i think it started when i began to hate shows like kim possible, the proud family, dextor's lab or what ever! oh lets not forget start comand spoof of toy story show! i wanted then to make a woody cowboy one but i guess it could get pretty camp and i believe sponge bob has taken that roll. acturally that is by cartoons suck now! the animation sucks, the story are predicable and lame and are too correct now! you can't get away with shit today! that's why we all turn to anime! i'm guessing.

customized shoes made with love! blog no: 28!

I made there shoes yesterday! my friend and idea decorated 3 pairs (pink, purple and blue)
the idea was to make a easy handmade gift for our friends birthday tea party! it was our friends 20th.
the slipper was a $2 slipper from Ryan's* IGA. the slipper claims to be "maybe the most softest slipper ever" on the packet however i doubt it.

we decorated buttons, beads and lace...at first then i desidered to use small pencils, paper clips, Barbie (doll) brushes and (as you can see) boom box, small toys broken badges and key chains.
i find it best to theme the shoes and make them lavish in design and style! my is perhapes barbie retro...? we also wrote messages on the bottom of the shoe!!! yay!
sorry i don't have any good pics of the other shoes )-; and my net pretty blown! the tea party was great and we're all gonna wear our shoes during our exam for luck!
