DIY Cat Ear Headband

at 12:30 AM

Last winter while visiting Urban Outfitters, Avalon and I were both smitten with a fabulous rhinestone accented cat ear headband. Avalon liked it so much, she wanted to make one for herself. We put our heads together to devise a way to make one using black felt, Tulip Glam-it-up crystals in black and a store bought headband. A thick craft wire to give it some stiffness and some Aleene's Fashion adhesives helped to bring it all together.

Felt Calavera Kids Mask

Friday, October 11, 2013 at 12:00 PM

Here at la casa Murillo, Dia de los Muertos is in high season! While I have a face paint kit out on the market, some people would rather wear a mask - totally understandable! I was at the dollar store recently and came across some scary felt masks shaped as skulls. My first thought was to paint over them, but then I thought - why not flip them around and decorate the back sides of them? It worked! If you can't find these at the dollar store, just pick up some stuff felt at the craft store, draw a template and use it to cut out your masks.

I LOVE this time of year.

When I was young I could not wait to come up with a costume to Trick or Treat in from things I just had laying around the house.
