This is one of the costumes I did for Tiffany and my niece Taly. We made the silk flower headband and basket together.

When my daughter was in third grade, she and her friends would come to my house to do arts and crafts one day a week. I taught the girls how to make shirts with appliques and hats with designs. Every week, we did a different design or decorated a different piece of clothing. For fun, I used to make shirts for my daughter with cutouts of her favorite characters.

She had a different colored hat for ever day of the week.

I enjoyed teaching so much that I eventually started teaching arts and crafts (and floral design) at a local craft store.
