Soda Cap Bracelets

I love to recycle!!! And this project is cute and good for the earth (not really, but it is still cheep to make). A.K.A. perfect for me to make! WARNING: the pictures are kind of blurry (sorry). Anyway I hope you like it:)!!
So you start out by getting your materials.

*Two Pieces of ribbon or some sort of thing to thread the soda caps into (I used ribbon and a strip of tulle)about 15-20 inches long for a child's/small adult wrist(6-7 inch wrist)
*About 21 soda caps (you will want to bent the back of them so they do not scratch your wrist)


All you do is you thread the ribbon (or whatever you chose to use) into your soda caps and leave about 5-6 inches of room to tie it on to your wrist (remember this is child size). You can also tape the first soda cap to the ribbon to help it stay in place.



 
And there you go another piece of jewelery to show off:)

How To Make A Thing 1 Costume

I love Dr. Seuss! Anyone who loves Dr. Seuss should DEFINITELY be Thing 1. Here it goes, my "crafty" version of Thing 1(I tried to make it quick and easy).
So from top to bottom
*the "wig" - it is blue curling ribbon (8 or 9 strips about a foot or two long) stapled first then curled and clipped into the persons hair with a clip or you could just go and get a real wig

*the sweat shirt - an ordinary jacket, sweat shirt, or shirt with a piece of white material that says Thing 1

*the gloves - I had old white gloves I could use that were store bought
*the tutu - my very favorite go to http://www.momdot.com/howtomakeatutu then just wear leggings under the tutu and wear matching boots or shoes

and there you go a cute costume:)
