Wizard Hats

I don't know if you remember the wands I made a while ago... but I promised the boys a more permanent wizard hat than the paper ones we made that day. I finally made them... and they turned out super cute!
I don't know why my little models were hiding behind their wands..... but they were.
I just made a hat out of paper then cut a straight line one side and used that as a pattern. I used two layers of felt so the hat would stay up straight and just sewed it all by hand. It didn't take very long at all.

Bumble Bee Tutu

My sister found the cutest bee wings and antenna at the halloween store. So I volunteered to make her a tutu. I got the idea at http://www.makeit-loveit.com/ and used her tutorial for the fluffy chiffon skirt. I put in a lot more layers and used tool instead of chiffon. It turned out pretty cute though.
She didn't get to wear it for very long because Halloween was kind of weird this year being on a Sunday and all..... But what a sweet costume!
