TANGLED {RAPUNZEL}: DISNEY PRINCESS INSPIRED COLLECTION

Alright, words cannot express how much I love this movie. If you haven't seen it, stop reading this and go... Serious. Call me up, I'll go with you.

It's beyond cute.

It's beyond wonderful.

It's beyond beyond.

I love it.

But, I love this kinda stuff.

(Don't worry, I don't just love girly stuff --- you would be surprised at my vast knowlege of Star Wars Trivia)

Back to the girly-ness...

So, I don't have a step by step how I did this... Because honestly, I don't really know how it turned out this well.... I just kinda let myself work... and this is what happened.

Here's some pics throughout the process though...

GAH!!! This movie is soooo awesome!!!

This picture is ridiculously awesome....

I bet you can guess which character I relate too...

Well, I hope you like it!!!

It's kinda crazy, kinda bold... but what do you expect when it's inspired by a girl with crazy long hair!!!

It was incredibly fun to create!

This one of a kind item will be listed in etsy. Click here to see.

Mucho Love!

JANE MEETS TARZAN: Disney Princess Inspired Collection

So, ummmm question....

Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard???

Think about it...

So... I'm tired and don't want to explain the steps...

Is that cool?

A picture is worth a thousand words anyway...

So... don't ask why... But while I was making this I thought of this YOUTUBE video... BAHAHA!!!

It has NOTHING to do with Tarzan...

Reasons to watch this Video.

Number A) This video is soooo funny.

Number B) I love Jane Austen.

Number C) Their accessories are AWESOME.

Oh... P.S. Some of the princess accessories are listed on my etsy shop. :)

Mucho love.

Here are the items so far in my

Disney Princess Inspired Accessory Collection:

MINNIE MOUSE: Disney Princess Inspired Collection

"Oh, Mickey!"

So, I don't have pictures of how to make the 'rosettes'... I made them while I was house sitting... and I didn't have my camera. But you can go to my "BELLE" tutorial and learn how.

1. Gather Supplies. (Fabric, Buttons, Headband... etc)

2. Un-earring the button earring, or just find a BIG BUTTON. (I use to work at Claire's and I'd always pick up clearance stuff that I thought I could make into something fun.)

3. Attach desired rosettes, flowers and/or buttons together.

4. Add embellishments.

5. Add backing.

6. ENJOY!

I've been really sick all day... so this is me not being happy to model the headband...

Now you all know what I look like without make-up and after I've been in bed all day.

Sorry.

But as I was laying in bed... I noticed all of my princess stuff... and I thought I would share it with you...

Princess Pencil Case.

Princess Covered Water Bottle.

Princess Figure.

Princess Frame.

Princess Magnets. (These are only SOME of my magnets.)

Don't you worry... I'm obsessed with other things too...

Like...

Jane Austen.

(I have these, and also paper backs of all her books, oh and I have Emma, Sense and Sensibility and 3 versions of Pride and Prejudice on DVD.)

I love all books. I counted my books while I was in bed... I have over 100 in my room, let's just say that.

But not just reading books...

Music books too...

Let's just say, I have

TOO MANY

A LOT

the perfect amount of

interests and hobbies.

You will probably learn a lot of my girlish tendencies on this blog...

But, I'm not JUST a girly-girl.

I like:

Cars.

Cool scars.

Learning about gross medical things.

(I use to clean in the Labor and Delivery Unit at the Hospital. So, blood and bodily functions don't bug me. I almost became a Nurse.)

Hiking.

Camping.

Dirt.

Playing Lacrosse.

Watching Football.

Watching Basketball.

and...

FOOD.

What do you like?

Mucho love.

"Heart don't fail me now,

Courage don't desert me"

"Just wishing I could do the job for you, sir. I'd give her a HA! And a HI-YA! And then a OUU-WA! And I'd kick her, sir."

Wanna know something totally awesome????

...about my Daddy...

My Daddy is a stud. Seriously.

Here are the flowers he got my Mom this week, just because.

Also, he's the hardest worker I know. He did our entire landscaping by hand, by himself. (We have 2750 bricks that he placed <all by hand> for the terracing around our house.)

Poor guy, has all girls, but because of him:

 I know how to take care of myself.

I can somewhat fix cars.

I can stand on my own and be self sufficient.

I can last longer in any other labor intense task than most girls.

I love people and help those in need.

I think the most important thing my Daddy has taught me (Yes, I call him Daddy) is how I'm suppose to be treated. I'm very blessed to have parents who love and respect each other. (Sometimes the lovin' part is a little gross...)

 I know how MEN are suppose to treat women.

Thanks Daddy. I love you.

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Mucho love!
