Disney Crafting...

[cheshiresmile]

I will be making DD a Snow White and a Cinderella dress, cheaper and cuter than store bought!

Ok all - would you buy any of these, and if so, how much? I'm considering listing them on Etsy. Before I do so, I will attach a jump ring and black cord.

What do you think

I just made this today as was wondering if I should try selling them on Etsy for about $10.00. What do you think?

I can do them for all different holidays

I love them! You should sell them

Very cool! Those are very popular at Craft Shows around here - $8 seems like a fair price. 2 questions though - where did you get that ribbon, and whats the 2 skinny blue things on the top?

I've done lots of Disney-themed crafting over the years but my biggest undertaking by far has been the wardrobe for one of my soft-sculpture Cabbage Patch dolls (I've collected over 30 of these types of dolls over the past 10 years) that I took with me for our last WDW adventure (see the trip report in my signature).

Here's me & my little Ellie Boo with Daisy at Donald's Safari Breakfast with my favoritest Disney character of the moment:

I made her 3 pairs of boutique overalls by altering Build-a-Bear overalls. Before any decoration could be added each pair had to have the straps completely removed and reattached so they were functioning (velcro is never an option for soft-sculpture dolls because it can snag their skin) and the tail openings in back had to be stitched shut. All decorations were hand-sewn because the parts are just too tiny to try to force under the foot of the sewing machine. Each pair took about 10 hours or so start to finish:

Overalls #1 w/plain backside:

Overalls #2 front:

Overalls #2 back:

Overalls #3 front:

Overalls #3 back:

I also made her 2 simple pillowcase style dresses that I put long sleeve onesie underneath (because when you can see the seams where the doll arms are attached to the body it just looks bad IMO).

Disney Cuties:

Minnie/Mickey:

We just booked our next trip so I guess I better get kicking on a few new ensembles for Ellie. Well, if I have time after I finish my Disney rag-quilt that I'm making for myself. :wave:

Love to see Disney crafting!!!

Go to eBay and search for "mickey ribbon" or other combos of keywords. There's tons of themed/designed Disney grosgrain ribbon. I have amassed quite an assortment. LOL!

The blue things are a reflection of something in the room. I bought the ribbon online. I searched for Mickey grosgrain ribbon.

Love it I would buy it immediatley! How much and where can I find it?

Has anyone come up with crafts that use the plastic bags you get when you buy merchandise at the parks? I have a bunch of bags and would like to recycle them somehow.

Can you crochet?
"Plarn" (a new word - a combo of 'plastic' and 'yarn') can be made from cut up plastic bags and crocheted into new things. I began a "plarn" bag made from recycled Disney bags, but it's not done yet.

Here's a website to get you started:

If you can't crochet, how about iron fusing different parts of the bags together to make a new, sturdier, bag?
Here's a tutorial on plastic bag fusing:

And on a different note: I saw these on Craftster this morning. Not my work, but some of you might be interested:

I just bought my first house, and am working on fixing it up. Part of that is refinishing furniture that I get for free from others.
Heres an Ethan Allan hutch I got from my grandmother (ignore the makeshift table in front of it)

Here it is done...

Why am I posting it here, you ask? Because I got to use my Mickey knobs that I've had forever! It will soon be filled with Disney stuff too!

 

[HopLow]

Those Mickey knobs are fantastic!! Great job refinishing the hutch, it looks beautiful!

 

[sweetpee_1993]

I love the hutch! I have those knobs on my kitchen cabinets. Love 'em!

 

[Thumbelina]

First off I have to say, this is my favorite thread on this forum! Everyone on here has some done some amazing stuff and I want to thank you guys for giving me some inspiration.

I love arts and crafts. Plus I like to bead and make jewelry. So far I have only made a mickey head necklace that is pictured below. I am hoping to get better at sewing so I can make some disney theme costumes. Specially a Alice one (ive seen its so popular on here).

Well now that I came to the end of this thread i have seen that no one has said anything since 07. well hopefully this will come back. I would love to talk to more people about Disney craft ideas!

 

[SewIn2Disney]

We've been posting on this thread in 2010--the last 20 or so posts are from this year!

And I'm about to add another----one of my proudest creations to date!
A Mickey Pumpkin Centerpiece!!

 

[Tiggerish]

Wow, that looks spectacular. :sohappy: What is it made from?
(it looks like fondant, but since centerpieces aren't generally edible, I doubt that's what it is) :wave:
