Here are a few photos I took while making the Winston brooch.
My sketch.
Coloring Winston on the shrink paper with Sharpies.
Winston and dog bowl colored and ready to be baked.
Assembly time. I made three Boston Terriers and two bowls because I keep messing up. My first Winston rolled onto itself and got stuck while in the oven because I didn't put parchment paper over it. My husband unstuck it. Now I have an extra Winston to make myself a brooch, whenever I get around to it.
Brooch completed and so adorable!
Winston and his favorite food:
I actually didn't plan on making pearler bead magnets until I saw a Fast Food Perler Bead Kit at Michael's and realized they would go perfect with the Winston theme. Those little beads can become quite addicting. They remind me of cross stitching. A week later, I went back for more pearler beads to make the dog.
This is what the package looked like when I shipped it. This is one of my favorite swap packages I have made and shipped.
I'm currently signed up for three swaps, a Halloween swap with an previous swap partner, a Bee Creative Stocking Swap through Instagram, and an ornament swap. I have no idea were I find the time to be creative but it forces me to try new things and I enjoy brightening someone else's day.
I hope you enjoyed taking a look at my swap gift making process for the Disney Pixar short film swap. If you want me to continue sharing progress pictures of future craft swap, let me know.
oh my goodness! what excellent packaging!
