Almost 10 days for RJ’s Birthday, his 1st Birthday!
Time passed so fast, I still can’t believe it.
In my search for the perfect outfit, something that really wasn’t bought for an expensive brand at least, because parents know how much a party can be expensive!
I wanted something I (and Dad) that we could remember as special and be personalized, since we are both in DIY things.
Remember my post about RJ party? There was this outfit I really liked and then I put my DIY part of the brain to work.
Here is the result!
Let me show you step by step:
 |
| You will need: |
 |
| A short or long sleeved vest |
 |
| The vest are great because of the flap in the neckline |
 |
| Fabric Glue. You can either glue it or sew it… I had tried the glue and works great. |
 |
| scissors |
 |
| A bow tie and Ribbon (1 meter) that can match or not |
 |
| A character your child likes and his birthday number. These patches can be Iron on. |
 |
| Measure the ribbon from the under flap till the trouser line. You want the ribbon to make the ilusion of entering the trousers. |
 |
| Cut it to the size |
 |
| Use a lighter to create a seam in the ribbon, so it won’t get damaged. |
 |
| Apply glue in the ribbon (sorry the picture was playing tug-o-war with me in this post and some pics were crazy) |
 |
| Apply the ribbon. Don’t worry about the glue appearing. After some hours (at least 6 hours drying very well) they will disappear. |
 |
| Apply glue in the Bow tie (I love bow ties!) |
 |
| Apply the Bow tie. If you want put a piece of paper inside the vest. (another crazy pic) |
 |
| Apply the patches the way you want. I glued mine but you can Iron On them. If you want to Iron on, please let the glue dry at least 6 hours. |
 |
| And voilá! RJ birthday oufit! |
