American Girl Crafts

Calista had an American Girl birthday party coming up and I already had plans for my girls to make some jewelry for their dolls so we started early and made some for her friend.
We just threaded small beads onto stretchable beading wire for the necklace and bracelet.
The headband can be made by using ribbon and a rubber band. Glue one end of the ribbon around the rubber band. Measure the length needed to put it on the doll's head and add 1/2 inch. Cut the ribbon and glue it around the same rubber band as the first end. The rubber band gives the headband the stretch it needs to fit onto the head and hold it into place. I use my low temp glue gun so the kids could do it and not get burnt as easily. I'll take some pics next time and post them - I'm not very good at explaining things!

Boot Camp

The theme for our youth conference was B.O.O.T camp..Building Our Own Testimony

I was asked to make the "dog tags". I have never used waterslide decals before so this was a new one for met but I think they turned out pretty good.

I got the tags from Oriental Trading..click HERE
I got the waterslide paper from HERE:

Simply follow the waterslide directions. Waterslide paper is also available in white..but I used the clear because I wanted to be able to see the metal behind.

You could also use the stamp idea HERE but I had to make 45 and that would have been WAY too much stamping!!
