DIY Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat Costume


The school that I work at is having a Dr. Seuss Themed Literacy night. Since I am working a station with another teacher and already had this costume, I decided I would make my partner one as well. It is super easy and cheap!!! Hope you enjoy :)

Materials you will need:
  1. White Foam Sheet (Michael's)
  2. Red Koozie (Michael's)
  3. Headband
  4. White paper
  5. Hot glue gun






Step 1:

Find a cup that is bigger than the koozie and trace it on the foam sheet.



Step 2:

 Cut the circle out.





 Step 3:

 Cut out two strips of paper that are a little less than an inch wide.



Step 4:

 Hot glue both strips of paper around the koozie. I did trim the length of the strips just a little and just glued the ends down. I did not put glue all over the back, because you would see the glue through the paper.







Step 5:

 Hot glue the koozie to the circle piece of white foam. Make sure to put it in the center before glueing it down.








 Step 6:

 Hot glue the hat to the handband, I glued mine about an inch or two from the center of the headband. I think it looks better on the side than sitting straight up on my head.







Now you can enjoy your new Cat in the Hat, mini hat! I have worn mine a couple of times since I made it a few years ago. This school year I wore it for Halloween and Dr. Seuss' Birthday. Below are a few pictures from Halloween. I added some whiskers on my face with liquid eyeliner and I found a sparkly bowtie from a previous costume. And with that I paired it with a red top and black leggings.








 Until next time!

How to Paint Laminate Countertops

Hey guys! So this past winter I bought a house that needed some major TLC. The room that seemed to need the most work was the kitchen. And with this being my first home I wanted to make it everything I wanted because I spend quite a lot of time in the kitchen. Because I had such a tight budget I was looking into various ways I could make my kitchen look like a million bucks without breaking the bank. I did three major improvements to the kitchen: Painted the cabinets white Painted the backsplash white Painted the countertops Today I am going to talk about how I painted my ugly cream color countertops! I did a TON of research on painting countertops and narrowed down it down to a product that is seriously amazing! I ended up going with DAICH SpreadStone Mineral Select 1 qt. Onyx Fog Countertop Refinishing Kit . It is only sold online and at Home Depot. One thing I will say that I hate myself for is that this actually goes on sale around Black Friday time for $75! So when
