Fox-ing Around!

Foxes are CUTE-CUTE-CUTE! What child wouldn't want to pretend to be one?

Make this quick easy fox mask for pretend play, Birthday parties, Halloween costumes, or just for hanging on the wall.

Materials:
Two 18 inch Orange/Yellow Striped Brain Noodles
One 12 inch White Brain Noodle
One 1-1.5 inch Black Pompom
Eighteen inches of White Rexlace (Cut into Six 3 inch pieces)
Hot Glue
Stretch Magic (about 18 inches of 1mm Clear)

Directions:

Step 1. Shape the 18 inch Brain Noodle into a figure-8. Fold the ends to secure. You can use a dab of glue where the ends overlap if it keeps un-hooking.

Step 2. Cut the second Brain Noodle in half and shape the pieces into ears. Bend or fold the ends of the ears to either side of the eyes.

Step 3. Glue the pompom (the fox's nose) to the center of the mask. Glue the white Brain Noodle to the bottom part of the mask following the shape of the contour of the mask shape.

Step 4. Glue the Rexlace whiskers into the mask. Tie a piece of Stretch Magic to the edges of the mask so you can wear it!

You don't have to stop at foxes - look at this cute mouse! Just change the ear shape a bit you can make any animal you want to be.

Noodling In the ROUND

It's SPRING! It's finally Spring! 

Here at PBC, we're looking for fresh and fun projects to amplify our rejoice for the return of this season. We're focused on Easter and we're making wreaths.

The easiest method to wreath-making is to use the 6.5 foot jumbo chenille stems. They can be mounted onto a cardboard or metal ring, or simply formed to make the circular shape. Super easy: Wave your Noodle!

Bend the Noodle stem to make a wreath shape.

Using additional Brain Noodles to form the bunny and flowers, here we've added poms and standard chenille stems to decorate the basic wreath into a more Spring-related design.

We'll keep decorating :-) Welcome back Spring!
