Americas Next Top Monster

I don't know if the headlines will read, "Dollar Tree saves Skinz", but it might. I don't know if it's a bail out move, or a smart move for Skinz to get the word out on it's product (insert product research, blah, blah, blah). Either way it's awesome for me!Skinz, for most people who have never heard of it is a sticky backed fun fabric. You can make frames, or put it up in your locker or stick it to your headphones, etc.
I originally picked some up for the Monster Dorm we are working on, I mean it's already a rectangular fuzzy, pink carpet, a Pringles can later it's a set of stylish stools, you get the idea. Also for scrapbooking I saw endless possibilities (remember, I have a Sizzix); cutting frames, letters, shapes, FUN! Even using as a cover for a fun brag book!
But, I also have this other problem, with the Monster Dorm scraps. I play with those leftovers until they become something to. Hence, the creations Of Ichabod's Millinery. But with these leftovers, an idea forms.
A lot of families have a show they watch together, even we (I who do not watch television much), have bonded over The Voice, Project Runway, and Home Free. I have heard many stories about family bonding over American Idol. Seriously, like hundreds. And I don't have that many friends.
Know, take these completely random thoughts, barely passing each other. And BAM! I have just created a brilliant idea for craft time with the girls.
You will need, whatever doll you child does, size does not matter, you will just need more sheets of Skinz, each player needs a doll, even Mom. You will need a few different packs of Skinz (double for large dolls), mesh tubing (maybe multiple colors), lids and toilet paper rolls, be on the lookout from your daily garbage this week, scissors, work space. Each kid gets an equal package of items, mesh tubing, recycling, Skinz. The design challenge is announced, a stylish day in the park, lunch at McDonalds, whatever. And Mom or Dad must play, That's when simple seeds of confidence and gentle kindness are planted.
So here's my sample Model, and I will let you know more this weekend. Blessings to all!
