Tiny people sure need tiny things! I'm used to boys so this was quite different to create! What did I learn this time around .. hmm .. well for one thing tiny alligator clips are curved and hard to get a straight appearance to the bow .. so I opted for what seemed to be an easy one to try ..
So, started out lining the clip .. not too bad if glue all over me and the counter are part of the process .. easy! Then the next layer .. the easiest of all .. make a circle and find the center of it .. THEN try to get it positioned on the clip. Ok .. got it .. but the rules say button or bead and this is so so so tiny! Found a button .. got it on there then had to manipulate it to get it kinda sorta ok ..
One down .. two more to go ..
This week's challenge is to get ideas moving in the direction of fall, cooler weather, and Halloween! So, we aren't going to do earrings this time around ~ we're going to learn and make some alligator clips for little girls! The twist to this challenge .. well, why just go with one twist .. there are more rules to follow ~
Three different clippies - must be handmade and not floral (can be bows or corkers just not flowers)
Must be fall colors
Must have beads or buttons as part of the theme
AND - these will be traded (in the mail) at the end of the week.
Must be suitable for infant to 2 year old
Lots of ideas are out there on youtube, ebay, etsy etc ..
Finished clippies gotta be posted by Sat, Sep 4 .. open to anyone beginner to expert .. these challenges are just for fun and to see what gets created - as we learn.
Anyone wanting to play with us - email rockstarmlove@aim.com .. yeehah!
Ready, Set, GO
