Recreating Dora

Halloween is not to far off. We are working on a Dora Halloween costume. I could have bought one for less then it is to make but once I started I now have to finish. Scott and I were discussing her outfit the other day. Dora wears a pink shirt, orange pants, yellow socks and white shoes. I told Scott that it is obvious Dora dresses herself because what mom would let there child out of the house like that!

Pink shirt- check
Orange shorts- check
Bracelet- working on it

We used Crayola Model Magic for this project. I decided to use the white version and paint it to save on money but it does come in different colors. This is very light weight. I found instructions on the Nick Jr website http://www.nickjr.com/crafts/dora-bracelet.jhtml and they suggested using Polymer clay (such as Fimo or Sculpey) but I thought this worked great. You can also find a printable bracelet that would have worked great but I found it AFTER I already started this project.

Marlena painted the different pieces for the bracelet.

The finished bracelet. Now on to Dora's Backpack.
