Fancy Nancy Pen

My crafts have turned into what my daughter's obsession is at the time.  She is on a Fancy Nancy kick right now. Fancy Nancy is the ultimate girly girl.  My daughter likes to compare what Fancy Nancy has to her own stuff.  This is how we got to this project.  Fancy Nancy writes with a pen that has a plume. Now my daughter has her own pen with a plume after this easy project.

I bought some feathers, ribbon and pens. 

First I curled the ribbon using a knife.  

Then I cut off the end of the pen so I could stick the feather inside.  Then I took the ribbon and wrapped the pen. 

Ta da! A Fancy Nancy pen any girly girl would love.

Bed Canopy

My daughter likes to read the Fancy Nancy books.  We read them every night before bed.  Just recently she has started comparing her room to Fancy Nancy's room.  She told me the other day that her room wasn't fancy enough.  I decided to make her a bed canopy to fancy it up a bit.  Of course her only requirement was that it needed to be pink. We bought bright pink tulle, a white boa and a quilting hoop.

I measured floor to ceiling and cut two pieces of tulle and sewed them onto the quilting hoop. 

Then I tied two strips of tulle onto the hoop for the canopy to hang from the ceiling.

I hot glued a feather boa to the hoop to finish it off. 

Here is the finished product.  I think she likes it.
