It seems like everyone I know has a birthday in October or November. These are just the beginning of what will probably be tons of birthday and (yikes!) Christmas presents that I should be completing over the next couple of months.
Three simple, sweet dinosaur shirts.
What three year old boy doesn’t love dinosaurs? I was very proud when he opened his gift and recognized the triceratops and t-rex immediately! To make these sweet shirts, I simply ironed heat-set vinyl that I cut out in dinosaur shapes (found at Dinosaurcentral.com) on to simple long-sleeved Garanimals shirts.
All wrapped up and ready to go!
I have some grown-up friends who I think would really enjoy some dino shirts like these.
Future goal: figure out how to get the cover to lie flat.
One of my dearest friends (and neighbor, and classmate) Chelsey also had a birthday this past week. We are taking a poetry class together, so I made her a matching journal and pencils using the same craft paper and matte mod podge method that I used on my pimento jar lids a while back. This is really the easiest trick, but it makes a boring composition book and pencils look very sweet.
All wrapped up and ready to go!
All of the pencils are covered in some long-forgotten Hobby Lobby scrapbook paper leftovers, while the two bigger pieces for the front and back of the journal are a thicker kind of Martha Stewart craft paper.
He loves the shirts, by the way! He’s always asking to wear his dinosaur shirts that Miss Danielle got him!
That’s so wonderful! The whole dinosaur thing was really just a guess based on my memory of his dinosaur/dragon (?) costume at Oktoberfest last year. I had no idea he was such a dino buff!
