Mona Lisa Costume
As promised, here is another great costume idea from Alexa Westerfield, a Mona Lisa costume. Be sure to click through for instructions and ideas for other “masterpiece” costumes.
Dino Brooch
I was browsing around etsy looking for something new, and I ran across this really cool plexi-glass brooch by AaronJoseph. He describes the Dino Brooch as unisex and kid friendly, but I think “totally awesome” is more like it. And, the best thing is, you can wear your awesome Dino Brooch on any clothing because the dinosaur is held on by a magnet instead of a pin!
Baby Viking Hat
Pregnancy comes with all kinds of inconvienences. You feel sick for the first three months and spend the majority of the time looking for a bathroom. It does have its advantages though, for instance, you can spend all of your free time looking a teeny cute clothes, toys and bedding and call it “planning” for your new baby. I was doing just that when I ran across babyrocksmohawks‘ Baby Viking Hat on etsy. Tell me this isn’t pure golden awesome. I was thrilled by her hot pink and “atomic blue” mohawk hats, but I think this Baby Viking Hat really takes the cake.
Viking Dolls
I am in love with these Viking Dolls from Craftster user Zelda.Suicide. She sewed these, inspired by artist Sandra Monat, for a swap. Love them!
