The kinks I needed to work out are that it wasn't quite heavy enough for some books. A bit thicker may have helped, I was going to play around with putting some sort of weight in the ends, so it was still transparent in the middle. I picked up some sand with the intention of mixing it through the whole thing, I just never got around to trying it again.
Thanks for the Fave, and in answer to your question, the kinks I needed to work out are that it wasn't quite heavy enough for some books.

I picked up some sand with the intention of mixing it through the whole thing, I just never got around to trying it again.
I did the same thing, though mine doesn't have 'love' in it. But be forewarned, the inside of mine turned completely white. I think the stones scratched it up, so the stones in mine are pretty much invisible.
Witchy Rachie, At least there is one more premiere that you'll have the chance to dress up for! And thank you!
Joy, Oh thank you so much! I have always loved HBC, and she pulls of the Bellatrix insanity so well. By July I think I will rework a few bits of the costume, fix the sleeves, add the silver swirly detail, and get lots, and lots of pictures!
Hah. I love it. I've had a Bubble wrap skirt made for me by a girl from my former school. I'm highly accident prone, so she made me a corset and skirt from Bubble wrap.
I cannot wait to try this! I actually stumbled across a really nice sheet at the Goodwill a few weeks ago, and picked it up with the intentions of making this. But it is still sitting in my car, and I've put it off because the only sewing machine I have is missing the foot pedal. So, I think I'll be hand sewing... because I really, really want to make this skirt! :)
Linsey, I've heard people suggest using Soap coloring before. But I am not sure how well it would work for a crayon. I didn't have any other than a pale pink color, so I wasn't able to try it out. But maybe this weekend I will give that a go, and see how it turns out!
MissMaris, I cheated, since I have terrible hand writing, and I'm pretty sure I couldn't write that small. I actually typed it up in a graphic with an image editing program. (I think I used Paint Shop Pro, but any would work) And shrunk it down super small, printed it out. And after I baked it I used the clear coat to glue it in. I will do a how-to as soon as I have the space for doing crafts again!
OMG. I love you. I love poptarts, but haven't had them in a long time because they are so terribly unhealthy. I'm so going to have to make some of these!
What a neat idea, I've been trying to come up with some homemade things for my niece. Maybe with this I'll get around to putting stuff together for her
India H. - Yes, I used a needle(or something similar) to poke a hole through it, and after I baked it, stuck a jump ring in there so that I was able to hang it from the chain.
the color for the arms was actually called butter cream, but I've used white for the same purpose. Just do it very very lightly, you can always go back and add more! Good luck!
Pirate Moose, you could probably get away with using only acrylic paints, but there is the risk of it washing out. But I have had shirts that I only used acrylic paint on, and I can still wash them to this day and it won't come out.
I do not know what Hot Topic is using for theirs, but I used a picture of it from the jewelry place in Portland that made them for the movie. Printed it out. Then created a resin pendant.
I personally don't like the lawn gnome(they give me nightmares!) but its an awesome idea! I've always wanted one. Maybe I'll finally get around to making my own!
Aw, thanks so much! So glad you like them! I want wait to see the stuff you come up with! Good luck reading the host. It took me a while to actually get started reading it. But once I hit chapter 9, I couldn't put it down, and sacrificed sleep for two nights to finish the book.

It really is that easy! I really did like it on cereal! I'm not a big drinker of any kind of milk by itself.

It's just polymer clay. I don't remember if it was Sculpy, or Fimo.

Joanna, Thank you! and Bought them. It was a little metal stamp kit that I found in the scrapbooking section at Michaels.

Jess, I didn't notice any of them really lingering on my nieces skin, and she was having a lot of fun coloring her belly. But it all rinsed off.
Craftie Auntie about 3 years ago
Love it! and the paint doesn't crack?
Craftie Auntie about 3 years ago
haha adorable!
Craftie Auntie about 3 years ago
That is awesome. I have several shirts I've been planning to do this very same thing with, but no sewing machine, and I'm not hand sewing it!

I love it! I had a similar plan to make them with fimo clay, but what a brilliant idea to use the model magic clay.

Craftie Auntie over 3 years ago
I just made one, I'd never thought to froth the milk like that. Awesome! Frothy milk makes me happy!
Craftie Auntie over 3 years ago
I would love a how-to, because I love fingerless gloves. but, I don't know how to knit! :)
Craftie Auntie over 3 years ago
Rebekah, that is hilarious, because I had the same plan! Midnight release, I planned to be decked out for True Blood!
And thanks so much everyone, I didn't realize I had so many comments! :)

That is freaking awesome. I need to get a palette of colors one of these days.

Those are beautiful. I am so very jealous of them! I've been trying to find the perfect pair of shoes to turn into ruby slippers for years!
Craftie Auntie over 3 years ago
I really like the way that looks! I may have to give it a try!
Craftie Auntie over 3 years ago
I love it! Makes me wish I could knit!

Correct. I used cardstock and spray adhesive

I've always used Arnica in the past for bruises but I will have to give this a try seeing as how I am highly accident prone

AW thanks!
PlaidCrafter, I two magnets behind the pendant to hold it closed. But using a pin would have been a really good idea

Oh! I want!

I have to say, that is pretty darn awesome!

Thanks so much, the tote bags you can find at wal-mart, or usually any craft store. It's just a basic canvas tote.

The Random Lolita Vampire, you only see it as a project because that is all I did it as, not as a how-to
Craftie Auntie almost 5 years ago
Thank you, thank you :)
Lilla I used acrylic paint mixed with Textile medium
Craftie Auntie almost 5 years ago
This is wonderful! Those are my favorite types of skirts! I will def. have to try this out!

I did make a stem for the new one. But when I had made the others I didn't have brown or green, so I didn't. But I will :)

Here in the states, some liqueur stores do have a Absinthe flavored liqueur. Not quite the same, but you at least get the flavor.
Craftie Auntie almost 5 years ago
What a great idea!
Craftie Auntie almost 5 years ago
I am sure that you could, with acrylic paint, once you've baked it.
Craftie Auntie almost 5 years ago
Hah! How awesome is that?! Must try!
Craftie Auntie almost 5 years ago
