Instructions
For the coffee mug:
Cut out the bottom of the laundry hamper so the legs can go though.
Measure the hamper's circumference and cut the felt to that size. With the left over felt cut out a "C" for the mug's handle sew the out line, turn it inside out and stuff.Sew the handle into the seam of the fabric that covers the hamper, make sure it fits snug.
Using the hot glue gun, glue the cover in place at the top edge of the "mug"
Cut the extra fabric on the bottom of the mug, leaving about 2 inches to fold over and glue to the inside of the hamper.
Use the brown satin to create "coffee" in the mug by glueing it to the top of the hamper.
Cut out the words "got coffee?" from the black felt sheets and use the felt glue to attach them to the front of the mug.
For the donut:
Turn the light brown felt side ways with the folded over part at the top. Round off the corners, sew the sides. At the top (the closed side) cut out a hole for the head to go though. Do the same at the sides.If you want you can leave it like that, or you can sew in elastic at the bottom.
Measure and cut out a piece of pink felt that covers the front of the donut, make the edges wavy.Glue it with felt glue.While that is drying,use the felt sheets to cut out "sprinkles" I made them about 1/2 inch wide and 1 1/2 inch long. Scatter them on the pink icing and glue! That's it!
Tips for Taking a Great Photo:
- Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your costume is the star!
- Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
- Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
- For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
- With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
