The CUTEST Wonder Woman EVER

I actually finished Halloween costumes early this year!  Amazing.

So I had to share.

My 4 little munchkins are all going as super heroes this year.  I only had to make 2 from scratch, so here is Wonder Woman.

I would say she's the absolute cutest Wonder Woman I've ever seen, just sayin'.

She's showing how Wonder Woman twirls and changes here.  We had to watch some old clips from the original show.  She loved it.

This ended up being so fun to make.

I used an old red t-shirt for the top.  I also made some little shorts to go under the tutu out of some old jersey type pants.  Those same pants are used for the Superman outfit I made my little man...that post will be coming soon.

What I did have to buy was 3 yards of blue tulle and the gold material, which I bought a whole 3 inches of it and had plenty.

My best friend for this Halloween has been heat n' bond iron on adhesive. I used it for the gold on the top and red stars on the crown and cuffs.

I do have one great before and after picture.

I needed red boots, but of course wasn't going to go buy some just for this costume.  So I took some old rain boots and spray painted them.

Here is what they looked like before.

And like you've already seen, here they are for Wonder Woman.

 

Now, why didn't I do that earlier?!  They look so much better.  I will remember this next time our rain boots start looking crummy.

Now we only have to wait a month to wear it...

Framed Wall Decor

Here are some framed things I did awhile back I thought I would share.  

In my oldest girls' room I'm putting lots of framed things above her bed, including this flower wall art.  Here are a couple other things.

Her name framed.

I painted a wood plaque and painted on her name.  I glued it to fabric covered cardboard and put it in a frame I had spray painted.

I read a great tip on transferring images somewhere on Pinterest (one of those things I read, but didn't pin).  Print off your design and put a piece of newspaper between it and your surface.  Make sure the newspaper part has a lot of words.  I used a picture portion of the paper since I didn't have much area to cover.  Then trace your words or design that you printed off with a sharp pencil and it will leave a faint line on your piece of wood.

Another fun thing for her wall, a silhouette.

I took a picture and printed it out the size I wanted and used it as a pattern to cut out of white fabric.  I glued it to the brown and white fabric with spray adhesive and framed it also.

I haven't used spray adhesive until recently when I inherited some, and I love the stuff.  It's so easy for lightweight things.

I had a couple of old frames that I spray painted for our master bedroom.  Here's the before.

After I spray painted them, they hung on my wall empty for awhile.  I finally filled them.

I tend to go ahead and hang them on my wall until I actually decide what I want in them...go figure.

 

Put a painted wooden letter on some fabric covered cardboard in a frame, and there ya go.

I also did the list of dates I've seen everywhere lately.  This was the format I used.

I printed mine out on cardstock and put it in the same brown frame as the monogram.

I also had this big bulky frame.  I think it weighs about 20 pounds.  It's not one of those new "looks like it's heavy" frames, it's the real deal.

Yes, I do love Jesus, but I had to replace this picture.

I spray painted the frame white and put in a picture from our honeymoon.  

I still have so many frames to fill it's ridiculous, but I feel like I'm making some headway at least.
