how to turn cardboard into rock...

...rock-n-roll that is...
the girl child was invited to a rock concert birthday party...
and asked to dress the part....

so because I'm so nerdy hardcore I decided to make her a pink guitar to take as part of her costume...
...I'm also trying to convince her to go as a rocker chick for Halloween...and was hoping a rockin' home made guitar might help convince her....


step one...trace guitar hero...or rock band...not sure which this belongs too...guitar onto oversized piece of cardboard...

step two...cut it out...

step three...take it outside and spray paint it pink...or other rock color of your choice...

step four...using the ring of a pint jar lid as a stencil, spray paint silver circles randomly onto pink guitar

step five...attach turquoise curling ribbon and hang on adorable rocker chick

step six....pick up friend other band members... embarrass girl child by lecturing them about no drugs or boy kissing at rocker party...

step seven...have them come up with rock band name...'glitter sis'...

step eight...continue the embarrassment by following them into party and taking pictures as we go...
introducing 'glitter sis' the newest chick band!
can you sense the, 'come on mom, get out of here' that girl child is oozing???
yep, me neither!
..........Rock On!.........

What a clever mom-I just went and bought a wig and tshirt at Walmart! "Pink Death" was then born! Looks like they had a really good time!
