Super Mario Hat

Hi everyone this is my first giveaway. I opened my first Etsy shop in 2009 featuring fun Super Mario Bros. dress up hats. These hats are great for any Super Mario enthusiast. You don’t need to save it for Halloween your kids can wear it all year around, any day they feel like transforming into Mario or Luigi to battle the evil Bowser and save the princess. I first made as a birthday preset for my little brother. It was the perfect gift he loved it. He wore his hat non stop for one month and still wears it occasionally on trips to the mall, the park or whenever I come to visit. For this giveaway I’m featuring a re-designed Luigi Hat. This hat is a lighter shade of green then the Mario and Luigi Hats featured on my sidebar and in my Etsy Shop. The “L” on the hat is also stitched on and made out of the same material as the hat vs. being hand painted. Enter to win this giveaway and get an early start on this year’s Halloween costume. The hat is stretchy and can fit a child as young as 1 yrs old and goes all the way up to an Adult small. So it can even fit that “grown up” friend that’s a Mario fan. Good Luck!

Easy Handmade Christmas Gift Tags

2009

last-minute christmas tags

I know everyone is busy wrapping (or perhaps still finishing) a few gifts. I’m here to help! These gift tags are a great way to use leftover fabric scraps. First, download this template and print it on some white cardstock.

Here’s what you need: your printed template, a ruler and an x-acto knife, a bone folder (in order to get nice crisp folds), a cutting mat, glue (spray adhesive or glue stick), 1.5” circle punch (or you can cut the circles with your x-acto knife.. be careful!), a few cute fabric swatches (cut to roughly 1.75” squares), and a hole punch.

STEP 1: Cut out your tags (each template makes four tags) with a ruler and an x-acto knife, using the guides on the template. I cut the top and bottom horizontal lines first, and then the vertical lines.. do not cut through the paper top to bottom, you want to stop shy of the edge of the paper so you keep the border and your guide marks intact.

STEP 2: Take the four cards and punch out the 1.5” circle, as marked on the template (your circle punch will be slightly larger than the circle on the template). Line it up as closely as you can.

STEP 3: Apply glue to the entire wrong side (or back of the card) especially the edges. Pick your fabric swatch and affix it to the back of the card, wrong side up, making sure it covers the entire punched circle. (The right side of the fabric should be face down).

Fold the card in half to sandwich the fabric, use a bone folder to get a nice tight fold (or your fingernail). Rub the card all over, making sure the glue is spread evenly over the entire card. Punch holes where indicated. Add string or ribbon and enjoy!

Falling In Love with Kanzashi

2009

AtelierKanawa’s Shop

AUTHENTIC Tsumami Kanzashi, Kimono, Chiyogami, Katazome

Master Kuniko Kanawa Creation

I have made a few attempts at constructing a simple ume style blossom. It took a few tries, but now I have two keepers although it’s still not perfect. I had to add additional petals to get my flowers to look nice. It’s good to use fabric scraps to practice. I had to start out with 4 inch squares to get a hang of the folds, and then I moved on to the recommended 2 inch squares. The experience is much like folding origami except harder because the fabric is floppy and you don’t get a nice crease unless you use starch. Since I constructed a few flowers all I need now is the finishing touches, a center bead or button and maybe a bobby pin or alligator clip so I can sport my very own Kanzashi creation.
