(Gosh, he's just so darn cute; I just want to eat him up!!)
I purchased the shirt and shorts for around $3.50 each a Wally World and then copied a couple of pictures of dinosaurs from a coloring book and cut them out.
I then traced the dinosaurs onto some orange fabric and used 'Heat N Bond' to iron the fabric onto the shirt and shorts.
I printed out the lettering and then used freezer paper to create a stencil. I then ironed on the freezer paper and used fabric paint to color in the letters.
I first painted the letters in black and then went over the black with a brown paint. I was trying to create a Bedrock-esk look with the letters.
Afterwards, it was just a matter of the paint drying and then presto, my little guy had some cool new digs!
PS. Sorry the pictures are a little funky, I hit myself in the head with my camera a while back and since then the camera (nor my head) have been the same! Any suggestions on what kind of new camera I should get???
Today I'm visiting:
LOVE FREEZER PAPER!!! Also love the outfit. So cute. My ds is 7 now so no more matching outfits.
ReplyDeleteHey Stacey, Thanks for stopping by my blog again! To answer your question, I have a Nikon D5000. However, before that I had a D40 and I loved it. For the pictures I've posted on the blog, you probably wouldn't notice the difference between the 40 and the 5000. I also always make sure I use natural light.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the dinosaur shirt. My little guy would love that, too.
Thanks! And, thanks for the info on the camera - I'm definitely gonna look into it:)

Wow, I never made any dino clothes for my 2 and they were very serious Dino dudes. I still have to paint over the mural in the 12 yr old's bedroom. Way to go!!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute!!! I can't wait to see your Sesame Street Abby Cadabby. I posted the Bulldozer Cake I made for my son here: http://acraftyescape.blogspot.com/2010/03/bulldozer-birthday-cake.html
