DIY: the little red bowtie

Today at work, I made a little red bowtie out of felt and embroidery floss. 

Someone said it reminded them of Hello Kitty (ew... I'm sorry but I don't like Hello Kitty...) but then some of my coworkers and I started thinking of different ways we could wear the bowtie (or in some cases, how to clip it onto people without them noticing). HAHA. Can you tell which pictures below feature WILLING subjects and which ones feature unsuspecting victims? hahaha...

Personally, I think the Dirty Sloth pulls off the best bowtie look.

OH and if you notice in the background, there's a box that says "ADULT CHICKEN FLAVOUR". Somehow, that just sounds creepy and kinda PG13.

DIY: bowtie necklace

Oh. man. Today I've been a very productive crafter. Since I've been sick all day, I've been locked up in my room sewing like a tiny little grandma, making crafts out of random odds & ends. The mere thought of doing actual work was making me feel more ill so with that reasoning, I decided to postpone any real work in order to preserve my health. =)

Now with that guiltless explanation out of the way, I present to you a new DIY. I've been meaning to make this for a long time and finally had time during my sick day to do so. If you scroll down, you may also see that I clearly had way too much fun (and time) to put cool effects on all my pictures using Photobucket Editing (aka. the non-iPhone user's Instagram). 

Anyway, I hope you like it!

*side note: you can use any type of fabric... I just had some denim leftover from a shirt that I cut up, and some lace-crochet material from a coat that I cut up. Clearly, destroying my clothes seems to be a habit of mine.

Bowties aren't just for men.

Neither are mustaches for that matter.

=P
