Costumes for the School Play - #2

Life has been super busy... completely nonstop for the glam girls!! Dress rehearsals start this week, and with just receiving the full cast list earlier this week, we are in RUSH mode trying to whip together costumes for over 50 students!
The day today was filled with shopping, cutting, spray painting, and more. The focus was completing many of the accessories for the 'instruments' - like valves for trumpets, a reed for the oboe, jingles for a tambourine, and headpieces for the string instruments. Here are some pictures of what the day looked like:

3" cardboard circles, Krylon Chrome finish spray paint

...jingles for the tambourine!
I think the tambourine is going to look great! I cannot wait to finish and show you the final result soon. Next were the headpieces for all of the string instruments. These will be strapped on to each violin, cello, and bass, but the first step was getting them ready, see here:

Embarking on the lovely journey of cutting foam... a hint of sarcasm here!

There will be more to come tomorrow, hopefully some finished pieces for all of you to see. 'Til then...
