Moroccan rug costume + my love for Disney’s Aladdin as a kid!

When I was little, I LOOOOOOVE LOVE LOVED the movie Aladdin (the songs, the colors, the locations, alllll the things)! And I remember so clearly playing Aladdin on the playground with my friends. Many of the girls would argue about who’s turn it was to play Jasmine while I just smiled knowing that I nobody would fight me for the role of the carpet. I love it’s personality, kindness and sense of humor (the way he lifted his tassels all the time as if to shrug his shoulders!). So, this month’s installment of the costume project is a DIY Moroccan rug costume which I am SO SO SO excited to share with you! šŸ™‚

The costume is *VERY* easy and the bulk of it is painting, which I was stoked about for this month. Remember that the goal of this Costume challenge is to push my limits with materials and shapes and techniques. I am not the *best* painter in the world, but I wanted to challenge myself with something colorful like this rug…..and it proved to be *super* fun! šŸ™‚ I referenced rugs online as I was painting and just made up my own color scheme and design. It did prove to be a challenge to paint over and through the “wrinkles” and creases that I had made while drying with glue…..but all in all, it turned out quite well! šŸ™‚

Materials:

  • About 1 yard of canvas fabric
  • Elmers glue
  • 1 can of spray paint (in background color of choice, I chose an aqua green)
  • Fabric paint + brushes
  • yarn for tassles
  • sharp tapestry needle
  • 2-3 feet of twine or ribbon
  • hot glue gun

Instructions:

  1. Hem Fabric
    Fold the edge of the fabric over about 1/4 inch and then again another 1/4 inch to create a hemmed edge. Stitch in place along the length of the side and repeat this process with all 4 edges of the fabricHem Fabric

2. Starch with glue
In a large bowl, mix *about* the ration of 1 part glue to 2 parts water. Mix well and then soak your fabric in the glue mixture for 5 minutes to fully absorb. Pull the fabric out and ring or press out excess into the bowl. Then lay the wet fabric onto a flat surface to dry, flattening or smoothing out any creases or areas as desired (you can also add in any creases or ā€œfoldsā€ at this time too). Let dry for 24 hours or until fully cured.

3. Paint
In a well ventilated area, spray your rug with the spray paint. You may need to coat 2 times in order to get an even color. Sketch out your design with pencil on the rug and begin to paint or fill in the shapes and details.

4. Add tassels
Make tassels by wrapping your yarn 50-70 times around a piece of cardboard (I used cardboard approx the size of a playing card). Without letting any of the string ā€œgoā€, cut along one side of the yarn bunch to make a bundle of long yarn pieces all about the same size. With another piece of yarn, tie it around the middle of the bundle of yarn and secure tightly. Fold the bundle in 1/2 around the the yarn that was just tied. Then with one more piece of yarn, warp it around the top portion of the bundle to make a ā€œknobā€. Wrap a few times and then tightly secure. Snip the loose ends and then give your hassle a haircut to the desired length! šŸ™‚Ā 
Make 4 tassels and then attach to each corner of the rug with a sharp tapestry needle

5. Add halterĀ 
Cut a piece of ribbon or twine about 2-3 feet long, then cut in 1/2. With a generous amount of hot glue, attach one end of each of the twine pieces to the back of the rug about shoulder width apart. Allow to dry completely and then tie together as a halter around your neck to wear! šŸ™‚Ā

Adding color and lots of little personalities and Adding color and lots of little personalities and faces to our weekend. Because love wins and death is conquered….so yes, this is for sure how we celebratešŸŽ‰

Also, yes, this is clearly a @claussenpicklesofficial because duh, they are the best! ā¤ļø

We don’t talk about laundryyyyyy.ā€ šŸ  šŸŽØ šŸ’› 
Also, the minute the hot glue was dry, Esther picked up the Casita, hugged it and ran it to the living room where she played most of the afternoon. A moment of Mom win to warm my heart šŸ˜­ā¤ļø
ā€œMay you find the light that guides you homeā€ ā€œMay you find the light that guides you homeā€ 
One of my fave song + fave yearly progression that makes me allll happy and sappy. Merry Christmas šŸŽ„ I hope you’re finding light this holiday season!
If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllio If I’ve said it once and I’ll say it 3 squllion more times: I LOVE PAINNNTTTTT! Here’s the thing……paint is always, 100% paint-overable. If you paint something, step back, live with it for while but just doesn’t feel right…..simply paint over it. Like really that simple. 
I’ve done this a handful of times in our own home….bathrooms, bedrooms, hallways (like so many times in the hallways šŸ˜‚)! 
Painting to me is a slight reflection of life: nothing is perfect, and even when mistakes or missteps feel overwhelming they are always worth fixing and usually fixable annnnnd it’s amazing how much a  small moment can bring big joy…..or in this case a big moment on a biiigggg wall šŸŽ‰šŸŽØ
I am doing my last restock of these little nutcrac I am doing my last restock of these little nutcracker buddies tonight at 7pm (central time)! So if you’ve had your eyes on them, especially after seeing them in @hgtvmagazine (gahhhhhhh, still can’t get over this), then be sure to find yourself in my shop tonight at 7pm central!
Even thought I had alllll the intentions of postin Even thought I had alllll the intentions of posting this sooner, I make no apologies because I don’t like living in the land of the ā€œshoulddasā€.

PS, download the file on my blog amongst the other holiday themed doodles coloring sheets…..AND we printed our village in gargantuan size from Staples….(their engineer print) and I am not one but mad about the fact that it will take up nearly half a wall! šŸ˜‚ ā¤ļøšŸŽ„
Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full Tis the season for my crafting fingers to be full of hot glue burns and can honestly say it makes me happy. Like so thankful and happy! 
Okkayyy well maybe not the burns themselves but the fact that I’m over here, in my little studio space in Wisconsin crafting my heart out and you’re sending the love right back to me with all the support! Support for the doodles and painting and costumes and sewing and other colorful things that I’m eager to share! 
SO thankful. Like I’d really love to give you all a humongous big hug right now.
