Guest Tutorial: Magnetic Superhero Playset with Chez Beeper Bebe
Hey. I'm Holly from Chez Beeper Bebe. I am so happy to be back over here visiting with all of you and Rae. I use a hand-me-down 1970-era sewing machine from my mother-in-law and I like to make plushies and toys and other things that seem important in the moment. I also like to make things from other things--finding new uses for old tees, cashmere sweaters, wool suit jackets, and whatever else inspires me at the thrift store. I have one boy of my own and I can tell you that he can hardly wait to get his hands on the completed project I am sharing with you today and has already asked me 4 times in the last hour when he can play with it (patience not high on the list of 6-year-old virtues). This is actually a pretty simple project that is easy to assemble--and better yet, it is endlessly customizable to your own boy's interests--be that wild animals, trucks and cars, Spiderman, or maybe Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. The world is your oyster with this project as long as you are willing to spend a little time doing some image searches on Google. I hope you will enjoy it--and also, thanks for coming over to my place--it is always lovely to have new people in the neighborhood. Happy Celebrate the Boy Month!
