We just got back from an amazing week in Florida at Walt Disney World.   My family attended the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration.  As an attendee I had the opportunity to attend special events including a 1 mile Fun Run hosted by GoGo Squeez.  My network of Arizona bloggers and friends decided to craft up the cast of Star Wars for a fun, Run Disney group costume.  These Mickey ears completed my easy Chewbacca outfit.

All that’s needed for these ears is an object with a 4″ diameter, fur (find teddy bear fur at your hobby store), Star Wars fabric, headband, and cardboard.  You’ll need thread and hot glue to assemble.

Trace your round object onto the cardboard twice.  Lay your headband just inside the bottom of each circle and trace the indent.

Use an e-xacto knife to cut out each ear.

chewie_ears_step2
Fold your fur in half, right side to right side.  Place your cardboard ear onto the backside of the fur.  Trace with chalk around the outside edge of each ear.  You will need a total of 4 fur ears.  Have a vacuum handy for this next step; there will be fur EVERYwhere.  Cut along the outer edge of the chalk line, making sure you have at least a 1/4″ seam allowance.

chewie_ears_step3
Place 2 ears right side to right side.  Sew along the inner side of the chalk line, starting with one corner of the bottom and ending with the other.  You want to leave a gap to slide your cardboard into for stability.  Do the same for the second set of ears.

chewie_ears_step4
Flip your ears right side and stuff your cardboard inside.  You might need to fold it a little to fit it inside.

chewie_ears_step5
Place a thick bead of hot glue across the open end of your ear (bottom).  Place on top of the headband, hold until dry/firm.  Do this with both sets of ears, securing about 2.5″ apart.  You want the hot glue to drip and encase the bottom of the headband.  It looks a little messy on the bottom, but serves two purposes.  It secures the ear tightly to the headband, mine made it through two flights.  Second, the hot glue acts as a grip and keeps the headband in place on your head.  Especially important when running.

Next, you’ll cut out the fabric for your bow.  I wanted an oversized bow so I cut out an 8″x9″ rectangle.  Cut out another piece for the middle of the bow about 1″x3″.

chewie_ears_step7
Fold your rectangle in half longwise, right side to right side.  Sew along the outside leaving a gap to flip the fabric right side.  Once you flip, iron your opening and sew closed.

chewie_ears_step8
To finish your bow, press all the seams flat.  Fold your bow in half longwise.  Then fold each end back to the middle fold.  Place a little hot glue under each fold to hold.  Wrap your rectangle fabric around the middle and secure with hot glue.  Place the bow between the ears and hot glue to the headband.

All that’s left to do is create an easy duct tape Chewie t-shirt to pair with your Chewbacca Mickey ears.  Then go out and find some droids, a Han, and some imperial forces to chase after.

  • Peeking through the cracks as my oldest practices for his talent show audition. I couldn’t be more proud! He’s been a performer since the day he could walk. He’s stubborn and it’s hard sometimes to get him to reason. Once he opens his mind and heart to the sage advice mom and dad have he was on board. He’d been working on Ukulele all school year with dad, they’ve practiced this song, and he knows it pretty well off book. But he really wanted to audition a Michael Jackson song and dance- in under 2 weeks. 😬 It’s not that we don’t think he couldn’t pull it off (next year), but we’re working on seeing things through to the end and making choices that are based in reason and passion. Any one else have a little one that is a jack of all trades? #talentshow #disney #moana #ukelele #lava #someonetolava #learning #practice
  • Valentine’s Day is tomorrow, are you ready? This year we went homemade box and store bought cards. In past years we’ve always done simple printable cards with a little bit of added fun. Usually small toys I picked up for pennies each. Need a last minute printable valentine? Visit the link in my profile for tons of Valentine’s Day ideas. #valentinesday #printable #homemade #card #valentines #valentinecard #cute #kids #fun #schoolvalentines #school #freeprintable
  • Spent yesterday morning at the @thefarmarizona at a lovely brunch hosted by @kodiakcakes. 🥞 First visit to The Farm and I can’t wait to return to try one of their 3 on property restaurants. 
Brunch was delicious, and we got to try out some of the Kodiak Cake products. Our family has only done the original flapjacks and can’t wait to test out the Chocolate Chip. Have you tried Kodiak Cakes before? They’re packed with whole grains and protein, and oh so yummy!

  • Soccer season starts up again on Monday. So I crafted up some fun shirts for the crew cheering from the sidelines. I love that with my @officialcricut Maker and and EasyPress I can quickly make up t-shirts for any occasion. It’s a blessing and a curse, because now the kids want shirts for everything! Interested in learning how to get started creating with Cricut iron-on materials and tools? Hop over to the blog. #cricut #ad #cricutmaker #cricutmade #ironon #irononvinyl #customshirts #easypress
  • This is too good not to share. He went to bed a 6 year old last night, woke up 100! If you were here this morning he would’ve waved his cane at you (which he made) and yelled, “Get off my lawn!”. 😂 #100thdayofschool #100daysofschool #100 #costume #school #kindergarten #toocute #hilarious #oldman #cutiepatootie #suspenders #bowtie #grandpa #100yearsold #makeup #stagemakeup
  • My husband has been a loyal @floyds99barbershop customer for years, so when they reached out to work together I jumped. #ad I thought I’d treat him to a day of pampering, which I did, but turns out they specialize in services for the whole family. Perfect! We made a day out of it. We’ve actually taken both boys before and they did such a great job making them comfortable. .
We both got the works! Husband couldn’t have been more delighted by his cut and shave. And let me tell you it was wife approved too, LOVE the groomed fade! In addition to services, they also have a line of men's grooming products that are DEA, sulfate and paraben-free. #WinWin .

  • I’ve been dreaming of this oversized chalkboard since we moved in almost 2 years ago. This large wall is an awkward space. The pantry doors swing into it so isn’t the best spot for shelves or furniture. It was just begging for an oversized hanging piece! I finally got around to completing this project this past fall. We loved having a place to add a little seasonal art throughout the fall and winter holiday season. The kids love helping come up with designs and adding their own artistic flair. #chalkboard #rustic #farmhouse #farmhousedecor #diy #diydecor #rusticdecor #home #diyhomedecor #chalkart #chalkboards
