star wars perler bow

alex made me a gift :) she did make herself one too. i love the 8 bit look of these perler beads - which if you don't know what perler beads are; they are these little plastic tube beads that you place out on a peg board and then iron/melt until they stick together. so alex made us each an r2d2 bow. they're so cute, i want a tardis one as well (we'll see if i get that; she switches up what crafts she's into constantly.) so after alex made these bows and i ironed them i turned them into hair pieces. i glued alex's to an elastic headband (one with thin elastic and a circle felt piece) and i glued mine onto a barrette clip. i love it - and it'll be perfect for may 4th.

r2d2 pillow case

i enjoy having my tardis pillow case so much i wanted to make more - i think it's fun having pillow cases that don't match your bedding and you always know which one is yours! alex has been watching and enjoying the star wars movies with me. she even asked to go see star wars 7 in the theater with me - yay! so...i made her an r2d2 pillow case. pillow cases are so easy to make too, especially if you have a serger - not to much cutting of fabric and only a few seams to sew and you're done. alex says she loves her new pillow case :)
