“And above all,
watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you,
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”
― Roald Dahl

Take me out to the ball game!


Happy 4th of July!I have another Design Team Project for you!!!
I just love the Carnival Lulu doll!There are so many different ways to embellish and paint her.
Today I created a little keepsake box, with our lovely Lulu adorning the top:)
Here's what you need:
carnival Lulu doll
small plastic baseball helmet
brown floss
acrylic paint vanilla, peach, bubble gum pink, berry red, navy blue, honey brown, chocolate brown, black
variety of baseball stickers
dark blue scrapbook paper
silver tinsel
small plain box with clasp
glitter glue
glue stick
hot glue gun & glue
Directions:
Paint Lulu's face peach, add details with chocolate brown, honey brown, berry red, bubble gum pink
Add hair color.
paint on uniform and shoes
hot glue brown floss braids and plastic hat to head.
Add baseball sticker to her hand and set her aside
Glue dark blue scrapbook paper to lid of box then arrange stickers onto it
hot glue doll to lid
brush glitter glue around doll and stickers
hot glue silver tinsel around box

Tips:
The little helmet can usually be found in gumball machines in grocery stores
use a cigar box instead
you can make this for any sport...would be so cute for softball :)
Lulu and lot's of other awesome goodies can be found in Lisa's shop
Hope everyone has a safe happy holiday!
