When I found out it was "tacky" dress day at school, my gemini imagination went on into overtime. (I found out at 5:30pm when I picked D up at school.....it was for the next day.) Luckily, I was directed back to earth by Jason, who informed me, "With boys, you can't risk their coolness."
So, my task changed to tacky/cool (and fast, of course).
Did I fail to mention that they are giving out awards for 1st and 2nd place? Now I know that winning isn't the most important thing....BUT it was his first contest at school!!
INTRODUCING, MR. TACKY/COOL
INTRODUCING, MR. TACKY/COOL
How did the contest turn out???IT WAS A TIE.............
How did I create such a "tacky" masterpiece??? See below:
- Cut the sleeves of a long-sleeve t-shirt to make short-sleeves
- Cut strips up the short-sleeves
- Using the sleeves that were cut off, cut the shape of a "D", a small strip and a bigger strip
- Sew the "D" and small strip onto a pair of jeans (on opposite legs) using colored thread
- Cut the legs off the jeans to make shorts then cut triangles into the short legs.
- Take the bigger strip (cut from the t-shirt) and sew the ends together to make a bracelet.
- Use the triangles (cut from the shorts) and sew onto the bracelet using colored thread
One Big piece of the outfit is not shown in the picture above...."THE TURTLE HAT"......not sure why he didn't have it on yet, but it was the key element...... LOL......The turtle hat can be seen in soon to posted zoo pictures.
