Bundle of Joy
By Vanessa Spencer
Paint pregnant wire form (5HCPREGDRESS) with blue acrylic paint (5AA-ALD22305) and allow to dry. Use a light blue ribbon to wrap around the torso area. To keep the ribbon secure, weave it at the side/shoulders and then secure at the back with glue dots (5JV-MINI). Use a thin ivory satin ribbon to wrap around the neck to create the halter part of the dress, secure it using a glued dot then glue a white prima flower (5PM-PRIMAKIT1) and a tiny blue gem (5PM-521943). Using some thin ribbon wrap a loop around the waist with a little "excess" room. Now take a sheer ivory ribbon and loop of the ribbon around the waist. It is best to loop over so that the longer piece falls down to create the look of a baby doll dress, secure the smaller end with a glued dot. Once you have done enough of these to create the dress, take a thick piece of twill (5TT-1/2KIT) and wrap around the waist - this will also cover over the area where the ribbon is glued. |

Antique Decorative Fan
By Sarah Meehan
Using an Adirondack Paint Dabber in Cloudy Blue (5AA-ALD22305) lightly cover a 12" wide mesh fan (5HCMESHFAN) to create an antique look. Weave strips of ribbon from the Beige Ribbon Collection (5HH-CX405) into the fan and glue in place. Use pale blue ribbon to accent the body of the fan and the handle. Stain strips of basic, white cotton fabric with tea or coffee to give it an aged look, and weave the strips into the base of the fan.
|
For a different look, add a vintage brooch. |

A Delicate Creature
By Vanessa Spencer
Using patterned paper from Basic Grey Stella Ruby (5BG-STE775) cut paper down to size and crumple as much as possible. After crumpling unfold the paper and smooth out. Adhere to brassiere area of corset using mini glue dots (5JV-MINI). Using Making Memories Gracen Vintage Hip Trims (5MA-26271) attach ribbon to top and bottom of brassiere ensuring you cover the edge of the paper and use glue dots to secure to paper. At the sides secure ribbon to corset with decorative red pins (5HG-71209). Attach red embellishment (5IM-GBJWL04) to the middle to create a unique brooch. You will need at lest 5 yards of a dusty pink satin ribbon to weave the lacing and wrap around the bow on the back. Be sure to start at the bottom on the back and work your way up, once finished secure the ribbon with decorative pins (5HG-71209). Use the same ribbon to weave around the bottom of the corset and be sure to weave tightly around the bottom. Attach cut out feminine words from Artchix collage Tell Me a Story (5AR-M160). |

Hula Dancer
By Mona Gettmann
Step 1) Spray paint a Wire Dressform (5HCDRESSRACK) with brown acrylic.
Step 2) Unhook one end of a wire from the backside of the dressform and rehook it to the waist, as shown. Cut off the excess wire. Loop lengths of raffia to the wire at the waist of the dressform to create a grass hula skirt. Trim the ends of the raffia to just above the dressform’s stand.
Step 3) Stain a panel of pink floral fabric with coffee, rinse and let dry. Measure the circumference and the width needed to cover the bust of the dressform and trim the fabric panel accordingly. Fold the raw edges to the wrong side of the fabric and glue with fabric adhesive. Cut and glue a narrow strip in the prepared fabric in the same way to cover the straps on the dressform. Glue the straps to the dressform, trimming off any excess. Cinch and glue the prepared fabric panel to the dressform, as shown. Let the glue dry and then slip stitch the front and back edges together.
Step 4) Using flowers, pink wire and green bugle beads from the following kits and jars: Prima Small Flowers - Burgundy (5PM-505219), Prima Small Flowers - Mixed Vintage (5PM-505233), Prima Small Flowers - Ivory (5PM-505257), Wire Set - Matte Light (5MA-20943) and Accent Kit-Greens (5PB-AKGRN - Discontinued) create a lei for the dressform, as shown. Using the alternating colors of the same flowers and small green beads from the Green Accent Kit, weave the elements to a length of pink wire, creating a flat flower piece, as shown.
Step 5) Place the lei over the neck of the dressform. Glue the flat flower wire piece to the top edge of the grass skirt.
