Saturday was my first official day of spring break. I spent it shopping and crafting. I got the kids Easter basket stuff ready and one of the things for their baskets was my next Pinterest Challenge.
The pin I chose for this week was this:
The downside to this pin is that you can't click on it, it basically is a pin that doesn't go anywhere and I hate when that happens. So, basically I had to wing it and hope for the best!
Items needed:
Beach Towel
Swimsuit
Flip Flops
Goggles/Swim Mask
White and Red Pipe Cleaners
Pink Pompom
Googlie Eyes
First I took the tags off of the towel and laid it out how it was folded by manufacturer.
Towel from Meijer |
Then I folded the swimsuit up in the middle of the towel.
Tankini from Justice |
Roll towel up and put mask or goggles over the towel to hold it closed.
(My kids will only use masks so I didn't do goggles like the original pin)
Mask from Meijer |
Slide flipflops (soles in) on the backside of the towel to make the ears.
Flip flops from Kohl's |
Next put the pink pompom in the nose part.
To make whiskers and mouth, take 3 white pipe cleaners and wrap a red (or pink) around to make the mouth. I had to trim some off.
Slide the whiskers/mouth under the nose part of the mask and behind the pompom. Stick on the googlie eyes. The mask will hold it on.
FINAL PRODUCT:
The mask needs moved up a little. |
That one was Eve's. I made one for Xander here:
I moved her mask up. His mask is from Kohl's,
towel from Walmart, and flip flops are Nike.

Back side of both of them. |
I am so excited at how these turned out. I hope the kids like them as much as I do.
What do you think?
OMG! such a cute gift idea! I made something similar for Nicks teachers last year as end of school year gifts. I've been debating what I could get my nieces and nephew that would be useful instead of candy, maybe I'll do a sand bucket with a beach towel and a small bunny. Thanks for the inspiration:)
ReplyDeleteYou're Welcome!! I was originally going to do it as an end of the school year gift for my kids but I couldn't resist doing it for Easter, they look so cute as bunnies :)
DeleteThose are SO precious!! I'll have to keep those in mind for younger cousins and friends kids :)
