I really should host a dress-up party for the kids and their friends.
Getting back to where I left off in my last post — the fancy dress was a grand success. They looked glittery enough and scary enough to each of their complete satisfaction. Here’s how they looked..
 |
| A crown, a cape, an apron and a heart worn over a red and white dress. N painted a thermacol plate with hearts and also made some playdough tarts (which were demolished before they got back home). |
 |
| I swear I didn’t ask her to show off her cape. |
 |
| That’s the spider. Erstwhile octopus tentacles were covered with black ribbon and poof! they turned into spider legs. H wore them with slings. A piece of black cloth with the web, a hole cut out for the head to go in and tied at the sides with black ribbon, worn over a black T shirt. This one was easy. |
Obviously, this then is our entry for Shruti’s Artsy Craftsy Challenge .
A glittery Queen of Hearts crown
 |
| Scallops cut into some red chart paper. Paint on fevicol and spread glitter. Shake off the excess (and store for a glittery craft another day). |
 |
| Paint on silver hearts |
 |
| Add tiny hearts cut out from silver paper. |
We’re planning to help N’s friends make similar crowns, the colour preferences are already pouring in. My only reservation is the glitter. It has a nasty habit of spreading itself all over the house. It’s been two days since I finished that crown off and I’m still trying to get it off me.
IT JUST DOESN’T GO.
Even though this was easy enough N didn’t help with it at all so we’ll probably have to have another entry. I had fun, though.
Hi can i get an Indian Police outfit to be couriered to Dubai?
Oh how awful. One needs to be so careful.
Love the title 🙂
The twosome look awesome!! Great going..
Glittery crown is cute.
And, yes.. the glitter never goes away! What worries me is that they touch their eyes/mouth/nose.Once Ammu's eyes got all teary and itchy due to using glitter for some activity at school..
Poonam.. really? You went to Maganlal? I've never been there just heard of it.
Sia: Welcome here. Well we're not winners but we do have fun.
Unseen Rajasthan: Thank you.
So much of creativity and kids too are looking happy in their outfits !!

lifeissongoflove: Thanks.. yes I did. However, by the end of the day the glitter had worn off. Thank God it lasted that long.
Sugeeth: The gada's not a favourite any longer (And I'm glad) but he refuses to let me get rid of it!
Bikram: Thanks :-).

Wow! Great job! The kids look so cute. Did you paint the heart on the cape too? And I so loved that crown 🙂 I am going to make it with my daughter. She will love it for sure 🙂
Thanks. You have my id so you're welcome to mail me. But it's mostly very very basic. My motto is .. if the kids are happy I'm cool.
Your enthusiasm is commendable Tulika…I wonder how you manage to come up with different ideas and also implement them.
I'm SO mailing you help when the kids have their fancy dress at school 🙂
Thanks Rajrupa.
Nisha.. it's the kids and the school.. push you to do stuff.
Snigs: Maybe from her masi..
From where does she get all the style??? Looking lovely!! & have yet to come across such a sweet spider!! 'Muwaaah' to both of them & 'good job' to you!
Amazing Tulika . U are Awesome .
