> made in 2010

Once upon a time I got this stupid costume idea and it was literally the only thing that made me happy at the time, so I made it.

The leotard, fishnets, gloves, and boots were all purchased. I made and patterned the collar myself. The blue fabric is from Mood - it's some kind of really nice polycotton or sateen. The gold is a lame - I know, I know, cardinal sin, but I was a babby at the time. I used a spray adhesive to attach the lame to some card stock (obviously I had no idea what Heat N Bond was) and then I appliqued them onto the collar (hey at least I did that part right). The gems are some large beads I bought from Michaels that I painted with stained glass paint.

The disco stick is still one of my favorite things I've ever made even though it's laughably basic. It's made from a curtain rod covered in electrical tape, a battery-powered glow stick, and a Dr. Pepper bottle with plastic gems hot glued to it.

The hair bow was made by gluing black extensions on to heavy black cardstock.
