Nedavno smo imali maskembal u vrtiću. Ove godine sam bila malkice ambicioznija nego prošle. Sećate se da sam pominjala da su nam Ben i Holi sada omiljeni likovi, pa je Ema odlučila da će da se maskira u princezu Holi. Krila smo dobili u jednom od onih časopisa o princezama, pa sam ih sačuvala za neku ovakvu priliku. Kruna je rajf na koga su prišivena dva žuta oblika krune od hamera. Čarobni štapić smo napravili od silikonskih modli za kolače (u obliku zvezde). Isekla sam im dno i zalepila jedno za drugo, napunila koflinom i umetnula štapić koji se dobija uz balone. Nameravala sam da i zvezdu napravim od hamera, ali sam se bojala špicastih ivica i mnoštva dece.
Recently we had a costume party at Ema's daycare. This year I was a wee bit more ambitious than last year. You probably remember my mentioning that Ben and Holly are our favourite cartoon characters, so Ema decided to go as Holly. We got the wings from some magazine about princesses, so I saved them for an occasion like this one. The crown is a hair pin with two crown shaped yellow cardboards sewn together. The magic wand is made from sillicone star shaped cake moulds. I cut out the bottom and glued two of them together, filled the wand with some amigurumi stuffing and inserted a stick that kids get with balloons. I was planning to use cardboard to make the magic wand, but I was afraid of the combination of pointy edges and small children.
A ovu Holi sam pravila jako dugo. Vodila sam se mustrom za Pepu Prase, ali sam morala izmeniti lice, oblik tela, dodati krila, krunu i kosu. S obzirom da mi je ovo prva polu-samostalna mustra, jako sam ponosna. A Ema, kada ju je izvadila iz paketića, samo je uzviknula: „Mama, ponovo Pepa!”. Toliko o tome...
The other Holly took a looong time to make. I used Debbie Birkin's Peppa Pig pattern as a guide, but I had to change the body shape and add the wings, crown and hair. This being my first semi-personal pattern, I am very proud of it. But when Ema pulled it out the Christmas gift bag she just said: "Look, mom, another Peppa!" So much for that...
