March Madness Mantel & More

Wow! Say that title five-times fast.  Here are some of my ideas for March Madness! 
1. Team Bunting Flags
2. Fluff Balls in Team Colors
3.  Cupcakes with your favorite team member's head glued onto a lollipop stick. I also dyed the cake mix BYU Blue. I thought that would make my little Jimmer head happy.

Fluff Ball Tutorial

For large ball lay 8 sheets of tissue paper on top of one another.
Fold the paper accordion style.
Place and tighten a twisty tie around the center of the tissue paper.
Round the edges.
Fan out the the tissue paper.
Fluff!

Just in time for March Madness!

It seems that all the boys in our house have an ample supply of BYU gear. The girl's are another story. Today being a game day and with March Madness just around the corner, I set out to remedy this little problem. Using the same technique described in the Freezer Paper Silhouette post (see two posts below) I made Belle this I "heart" Jimmer onesie. Plus, momma got a cougar fix up too. I cut my letters out with a Cricut but you can easily print letters onto the freezer paper or even free draw them.


The shirt that I made for myself has a very low scoop neck . When I tried it on, I got a funny feeling about dressing like a Hooker while wearing a BYU shirt. This is the same compelling feeling I get to restrain my middle finger while driving on the Beltway because I have a BYU Alumni license plate holder.

My Solution: Add a ruffle.

First I dug around in my goodwill pile of clothes and found an old shirt. I trimmed the bottom.


Next, I pinned the bottom of the old shirt around the collar of my new shirt. Some trimming to make the sizes match will most likely be required.


Finally, I sewed it on with my machine and now I have a cleavage free BYU shirt!
