Photo Booth Props

So my friend's wedding is next week, and I was put in charge of her photo booth props. The mustaches and glasses on sticks is part of it, and then I made a few other items. There are also hats, boas, weird glasses, and many random items to choose from. I hope it will make for some fun and wacky pictures!

rainbow feather headdress and oversized flower glasses
peacock feather mask and afro wig (obviously I didn't make that one)

on a stick

I ordered the wooden supplies from here, then sprayed some squares of scrap felt with spray adhesive and stuck the wooden mustaches on, then used an exact-o knife to trim it. For the glasses I sprayed with adhesive and dipped in glitter. Then I just gorilla glued the sticks on. Easy!

Blue Ribbon Worthy?

I think not, but maybe I'll get lucky. I decided to try my skills in the State Fair competition and made this little short-sleeved cardigan, size 3T.



Rainbow butterfly buttons from here. The yarn is Berroco Vintage, which is very soft and feels like merino, but is machine washable! I was going to sew some white trim on the bottom like in my elephant cardi, but I ran out of time.

It bugs me that one button is a little off. It's going to keep bugging me, most likely. Sigh.



The pattern is based on the Little Coffee Bean sweater, but I modified it to suit my liking and of course, made it bigger.

Last week, my sweetie and I went to Maine for a week to celebrate our  ten year wedding anniversary! It was glorious. Silent. Serene. (No kids invited.)



No second honeymoons now though; time to make that bridesmaid dress!
