Hi everyone sorry it took so long to do another project aka DIY. I found this dress form made of foam rubber and thought this would look great wrapped in burlap. Plus go oh so well with my steam punk themed jewelry. So here we go.

I would say I used 4 yards of burlap fabric all together.Cut Your burlap into 2 inch strips and how you do that is . You pull out one the the strings at the 2 inch mark and cut there so that leaves some fray (fringe). I used a key printed burlap and a plain burlap.

Now get you hot glue gun out. I tried a stapler but the staples just kept popping out. I used maybe 6 glue sticks. I used a little bit of glue in ALOT of places. I started at the bottom and worked up. like this.

Once I got to the top of the skirt . I folded the last strip in half . Gluing it fold side up and fringe pointing downward.

So then I Cut the plain burlap in half One for the back and one for the front side. Gluing and smoothing gluing and smothing. Until I got this.

Thanks for reading my blog!

Here is a sneeky peek at my neckless. I'm so

excited!

sculpting a Mermaid.

Hi, I have been sculpting all day. So I thought I would take a break and tell ya what I am doing. I have been taking pictures along the way so I can show you too. Yeah visuals are great! First I made a Armature of a Mermaid. Kind of like a stick figure when drawing. So then I had to condition my clay (get it moving) or warm it up. I've desided that this Mermaid is going to be Purple. lol Yep PURPLE.
