OK, I have to admit that I am really proud of this little guy. He's for a real-life-friend who I happened to be partnered with in a swap-bot swap. (http://www.swap-bot.com/ Go there. Become addicted.) He's in the mail and I can't wait to find out if she likes him!!
He's made out of this random, but neat, wool blend from Kenneth Cole's Fall 2000 collection. (If you can believe the tag) I got it at a discount fabric store in PA that gets really neat fabrics that must have been manufacturing left overs. This was one that was so insanely ugly and unique that I bought it years ago knowing that there must be a project that I would have to have it for in the future. And now I am vindicated! Enter the Molar Monster!
The Molar Monster has pretty fluttery white wings to disguise himself as the tooth fairy while he sneaks into your room at night to give you cavities. I used iridescent dimensional fabric paint on polyester organza and to "finger paint" wings on a silicone sheet. (Wasn't coming in handy in the kitchen, so I stole it for the craft room.) I peeled it of and cut around the edge. There was no raveling since the paint sealed it up! Soooooo easy. I'm going to have to remember this method.A little cavity here...a little cavity there... and wah-la!
Love it! Great tip for the wings.
