Hello Kitty Crayon Container

When my boys were little I discovered that the frosting containers were the perfect size for crayons.  I decorated these two for Alejandra and Gaby.  I'm still thinking of more things to HK alter.  I'm having so much fun!!!

The Giant paper clips I found at H.E.B.  grocery store.  The paper clips measure 3 1/2 " the butterfly, the strawberry  and the HK head were cut at 2 1/4", I used my design studio since my Gypsy broke and I had to send it to Provocraft and I havn't gotten it back. The HK with bear is cut at 2 1/2".

Altered Glue Bottle

Hello Kitty Glue Bottles!  How fun are these! I'm still looking for more school supplies to alter and add the Hello Kitty!  It is so much fun to craft for girls!  I'll also be making a set for me!  The HK is from the Hello Kitty fonts cricut cartridge the paper is from Hobby Lobby and I'm using mod podge to glue it.  I also added a top coat of mod podge.

Cardscape"Cow's it going?"

Sandy from Creative Scrapbooking Divas had a posting on this today.  A few months ago I made one for a card swap,  I didn't post it then because I got the idea from a blog but I couldn't find it anymore.  I apologize for not giving the appropriate credit.  But  it is such a cutie that I want to share it!

I used Mod Podge to glue the paper and the HK to the notebook.  Coated it with Mod Podge.

Altered Scissors

I've been working on some back to school gifts for my nieces.  This is the first one, altered scissors with a charm.  One charm says Lil' Sister, the other one says Big Sister.  I glued paper on them with E6000 glue, decorated with Stickles and covered with a layer of glass effects. I found the cute charms at Hobby Lobby.
I had altered scissors before, but I forgot to take pictures before I gave them away.  There is a tutorial but I could not find it.  I'll update this entry when I find it again.   The rest of the projects are more altered items with  Hello Kitty.
