2 days to go and the costume is now in the works. I need Jack to come home from preschool so I can fit it on him again. And I need to figure out if I can use an iron on interfacing with craft felt that is made from recycled materials. Who knew craft felt was getting so green (and complicated)?

On the ninth day of Halloween
On the ninth day of Halloween, the Great Pumpkin gave to me:
A life sized witch (she is going to be great in the foyer at the new house);
vintage owl ornaments for the glass ornament tree...
a little closer peek;
some lab glassware for my spooky laboratory;
and a very tiny, very fragile bird skull for the cabinet of horrors. (I bet some of you *are* horrified by it, aren't you?)

Yes, yes I am (a little creeped out about the bird skull). Interesting question about interfacing on felt. I have never thought about it. I know some glues don’t work well and I’m not sure about using an iron. I’m not sure why, but I just have this image of it melting. I have found that Beacon’s Felt Glue works well, but if you don’t press the felt together gently it becomes hard. I know that probably won’t help, but that’s about all I can add :) I can’t wait to see Jack’s costume. I stayed up LATE working on ours. I think you are probably beating me!
ReplyDeleteI'm envious of your glass labware and owl ornaments. Too fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy "almost" Halloween.
I personally like the skull,does that make me weird?
ReplyDeleteI also like the lab glassware,love the shape. The witch is pretty awesome too.
Very jealous of those owl ornaments. Where do you get them????
ReplyDeletei wish we had some skulls and some cool lab glassware - that would be so fun - i would want a little display with old science books, too... osteology was one of my favorite classes as an undergrad - i had my own box of old bones (all femurs) to tote around!
ReplyDeletelooking forward to seeing the costume. i guess i should start on the ghost costume for jt. he claims he is simply wearing a sheet.
