Teeny Little Super Guy
Remember him? “You can’t judge a hero by his size. He’s just a teeny little super guy.”
I was thinking about him the other day, (we were watching some old school Sesame Street) I thought, wouldn’t it be awesome to have one of those cups? Then I thought, I’m sure I could find one on Etsy.
Guess what? NO! No teeny super guy on Etsy! I couldn’t believe it! Everything is on there. So I had to make one myself. I’m not a great painter, but he’s not too bad for a first try.
Here’s what you do:
- Get paint for glass. I thought I did, but I ended up getting just plain acrylic. It’s not durable, or washable, but if you just want to keep it on a shelf it’s fine. You need Yellow, Red, Tan, and Black.
- Print out the little super guy, or draw him freehand (what I did) on a piece of paper.
- Put the paper inside the glass. Now just paint in the lines.
That’s all. It only took a few minutes. I made him on a mason jar, and I use him as a piggie bank on the top of my fridge. I sing the song every time I put a coin in. Now you can have your own little super guy.
- More Sesame Street on Geek Crafts.
ADORE! Made my day a THOUSAND HUNDRED MILLION times better.
Always loved how their bicycles were hand crank mixers. LOVED!
Squee!!! So cute! I’d totally forgotten about Teeny Little Super Guy, even though he was one of my favorite sketches! What a great project. :)
There might not be any on Etsy, but someone on Craftster made a set of four glasses: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=86122.0
I’d love a set of TLSG shot glasses myself – how epic would that be?
BEST EVER BEST EVER BEST EVER!
