If you've been reading you've seen that I've finished, delivered and they've officially been professionally photographed! My very first costume design....
This is EXACTLY how they looked in my head! :) I can't wait to see the Choo Choo Soul girls dance at recital! :)
Here's the Choo Choo Soul costume from start to finish!! well, almost start.... I can't find the pic of the bag of supplies these were once... haha... I do know that the total project consists of:
- 9 Overalls from ALL OVER that Karen and friends from KDAS go so graciously found for me (Cut down on cost BIG TIME!)
- 9 toddler train conductor hats from Oriental Trading (came as a pack of 12)
- 14 rolls of 25 feet EACH of red tulle
- 2 HUGE boxes of rhinestones; one irradescent and the other crystal clear
- 5 tubes of E600 glue
- 20 glue sticks
- 4 packages of 1/4" thick elastic
- 9 "Ouchless" hair bands
Each costume consists of:
- 85+ rhinestones glued on ONE BY ONE on the hat
- 55+ rhinestones glued on ONE BY ONE on the front of the overalls and 1 glued on each overall button
- 40+ rhinestones scatter-glued on ONE BY ONE to each tutu
- 50 yards of tulle on EACH TUTU; hand tied to the elastic in 16" strips
- 3 yards of tulle for each hair puff cut into 6" strips and tied to an elastic hair band
- TONS OF TUTU FLUFFING
Many tears, giggles, burnt fingers, glue peeling and patience here it is....
I'm so proud to do this for our daughter and her dance friends :)
