About Me

Hi, I'm Mia. I love crafts, homeschooling and living in different countries. In Central America and Mexico it became somewhat of a challenge to make things. I learned to use articles on hand and a lot of imagination. One very big inspiration for me was when I watched a mother cleaning a chicken. As her little boy skipped by he paused and started looking at the "guts" that she had just placed in a bowl. He pulled out what looked to be the stomach. He then cleaned it up. Placing it to his mouth, he began to blow it up. It was now a balloon. His mother turned and smiled at him as he skipped off to show his prize to his friends. It was then that I challenged myself to make or create things without spending a lot of money. I enjoy using things I already have or can purchase inexpensively. You can do it too. Take the challenge.

HERSHEY'S CHOCOLATE KISS COSTUME

No sew Hershey's Kiss fall festival costume.

I looked on line at many costumes and was not happy with the way they looked.  My sewing machine was not working so I had to come up with another way to make the outfit.
All that is in the costume is a bicycle tire, ribbon and material.  I used fabric glue to put it together.  The hat is a paper birthday hat covered with the same material with the same ribbon streaming out the top and flowing down the back with letters that say "Hersey's Kiss".
The mater was 60" wide.  I made sure I bought enough for the length I needed.  I cut 2 triangles and laid them face to face on the table.  I glued them together at the sides leaving plenty of room for an arm hole on each side.  I folded down the top hem wide enough for a 2 or 3 inch ribbon to go through.  I tied bows on the shoulders.  I placed an inflated bicycle tire in the bottom and glued the hem around it.  It took less than 2 hours to fix.
