Because Brothers can be Superheroes too

My younger brother LOVES Superman!

I racked my brain this past Christmas trying to figure out what I could make him in that theme.

I decided to try my first canvas painting!

I love how it turned out and he was pretty excited about it!

He goes by Skip, so I tied the "S" in Superman to the "S" in Skip.

He made me feel awesome when he told me it looked like a store bought canvas!

(He wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not - but I quickly informed him that it was a huge compliment!)

On the back, one of the things I put was "Because brothers can be superheroes too".

Thanks for looking!

Harry Potter Bookmark

Need to make a gift for someone?

Does that someone love books?

Well that was the situation I was in for my Dad...

And I decided to make him a Harry Potter bookmark out of felt!

I started with a rectangle piece of flesh-tone felt.

I then cut out hair, glasses, eyes, a nose, and a mouth out of black.

Out of red I cut a lightening bolt scar and to rectangles for the scarf.

Out of yellow I cut a large rectangle for the scarf.

I hand stitched everything down with coordinating embroidery floss.

I then finished it off by stitching on another rectangle piece of flesh-tone felt on the back to cover up all of the other stitches and knots.

Now you have a gift perfect for book lovers!

Tailor it to fit their likes!

Superman Flower Pot

My Mom and younger brother just moved to a new house.

I had given my Mom several things but was trying to come up with something for my brother.

He absolutely loves Superman.

I have been wanting to try painting flower pots and had bought a smaller one to try before painting bigger ones.

I decided to try painting the smaller one in a Superman theme for my brother.

I love how it turned out!

I made it kind of look like Superman himself, just a portion.

I figured the smaller flower pot would be perfect for change or odds and ins.

My brother really liked it!

Now I am off to paint more!

The project I am sharing with you is a gift I made for my boyfriend, Robert.

He loves penguins.

Last year I crocheted him one.

This year I decided to make him a unique one out of sequins!

This cute little guy started out as just a plain styrofoam ball.

I then took sequins pins, added white seed beads and white sequins.

I pinned them in an oval onto the ball to make the stomach area.

I covered the rest of the styrofoam ball with sequins pins with black seed beads and black sequins.

I then cut the feet and beak out of orange felt.

The wings I cut out of black felt.

I adhered them to the penguin with plain sequins pins.

I attached google eyes with glue dots.

I hope you enjoyed my project!
