Angel Warrior Costume with Articulated Wings - Halloween/Christmas (video included)

Angel costumes have been favorites for girls during Halloween and then there is always that angel in the Christmas play at church. So I was not surprised when my lovely daughter said she wanted to be one. She changed it up a bit and wanted a bow, arrows, a quiver and some armor. She's unique like that.... not sure where she gets that urge to be different. With those additions, the idea for her Angel Warrior costume was born.


This costume was 100% DIY and handmade, it was even designed in the mind of this very creative 9 year old girl. The three talented people who worked on it is Linda from Living Sew Beautifully, Grace from Uniquely Grace (that's me) and this young beauty (my daughter) in these photos Trinity from You are Tutu Cute (she makes tutu's to pay for her own dance classes) Head to toe you don't want to mess with this deadly combo.


Look here at her quiver, satchel, armor and dress. All were made by Living Sew Beautifully. From nothing more then my daughter's imagination and a artist's rendering.  One of a kind, no patterns used! Linda is awesome like that. Also one little detail look at the bottom of this image, you will see a little red dot. Her arrows have laser pointers in the tips. COOL HUGH?


From behind you can see the cape made by Living Sew Beautifully. Also the bow I designed and my daughter painted. It is inspired by the shape of angel wings. The back of these wings show how large they really are. Each one about 3' in length.


That gives this angel a 7' 8" wing span from tip to tip when they are open. Pretty darn impressive! We love the size of these beauties. Lately my goal with the kid's costumes is to create something that will grow with them or that can be used by an adult even (like me... lol) for years to come.


Now let's see it in action! Here you go!

Watch out Tony Stark there is a New IRON MAN in town (Boy Halloween Costume)

Hello Everyone!

Tony Stark as Iron Man? Nope, it's my son in a Mark VI Iron Man suit, Avengers version. Watch out Tony Stark, Tristan is going to take over your job... with the ladies! I love my son so much. He is handsome, smart and quite a character.  I am very excited to share with you my son's Halloween costume that was completely built by hand, out of foam mats, close to 500 pieces were cut out of paper, then traced onto foam, cut out of foam and then glued together and primed, and painted. I enlisted everyone, my hubby, my son, my daughter to help with the steps... even my neighbor for help with the lighting.


Here is the costume with helmet and lights.




Want to see it in action? Here is a video of the costume. My son was "so over and done with" the photo shoot at that point... LOL! Please excuse his enthusiasm.The music is coming from him too... The lights are hard to see but are all on, in his eyes, the arc reactor and the repulsor beams in the palm of his hands.


Back to the dashing smile of his...

Harry Potter Birthday Decor Project Video with Helmar - Post #4

Hello Readers!
I know it has been a while since my last post. I have been out of town... right after the Harry Potter Party I had to leave on a two week trip to Colorado for my baby sister's wedding... lots of projects to share about that too. It was my son's 10th birthday party and I know I am a sucker for going all out on the big day... he hit double digits after all.


But for now as I play catch up from this crazy busy month here is a video I made of all the Helmar Projects for the Harry Potter party. More post to come about the individual project and the rooms and other projects not in this video.

Roses are Red, Violets are Blue...

I've heard it's been said, Helmar 450 is... THE GO TO GLUE!

Hello everyone!
It's me, Grace. I am back today to show you a paper rose tutorial. This is one of my favorite flowers to create. I love making these for altered items or hair pieces etc. I thought I would show you how to make this style of spiral rose because the key to a good end result is biased on the glue you use! Guess what? Helmar 450 is the go to glue to use!







Don't they look great? I love how they turn out and how easy they are to create with Helmar 450!

Hope you all have a happy Helmar weekend and get that 450 out and make something fun!
