Paint with gold or silver acrylic paint and seal with acrylic sealer.

ReplyDeleteThanks
Deletethis trophy is really cute!!!!!!! I love the colors that you used!!!! This is my first reply and I am very excited!!!! Since it is summer i want to request for you to make a doll umbrella or a bikini!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere is already a bikini pattern available in my Beach Collection. I started an umbrella last summer but never finished it. Maybe I will get to it this year :-)
DeleteDo you have a pattern for her warm-up suit?? Love it!
ReplyDeleteI have them made but not yet published. But you could take my pants pattern (see Nurses scrub pants) and use e.g. black performance fabric (add a stripe or 2 of 1/8" ribbon in white or whatever color you like to the side of the pants) and you part of your warmups are already done. Jacket you could take the Teakwondo top, not cut the V-neck, turn it around to have the closure in the front and add a zipper instead of velcro and you have a jacket. Take black iron-on transfer paper with your Gyms Logo for the back/front and you are all set. Hope that helps. Good luck
Deleteare you going to post it?
DeleteHi, I just made the trophy. Oh my gosh, it turned out really cute. I found a sheet of 12x12 peel n stick holographic design at Hobby Lobby. That worked perfect. I also cut 3" off a heavy thick paint stick for bottom and cardboard for top. Thank you so much for your ideas, they are amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! But what did you use for the bottom part?? and how do you cut pencils?
