Life Size Monster!!

Madison's Halloween Pumpkin Carving Party is Friday! This time of year is extremely busy for Maddycakes but I don't want to neglect my own child's party!! So I am knee deep in party prep this week! Here is the invite created by my talented and sweet friend Carli from DimplePrints. This was in her Etsy shop as a birthday party printable but I had her custom it for a Halloween party. When I got the party printable package I was floored. I have never gotten so many printables in a party package!!! I wanted to make a life size monster for party decor and a photo backdrop. I don't have a lot of time so I wanted it to be easy and quick to do.
I bought 2 yards of furry red fabric from Hobby Lobby and used my invitation as my muse! I turned the fabric to the back size and used a fabric marker to free hand draw the monster. The great thing about monsters...they don't have to be exact or pretty! I used felt for the yellow dots, mouth and pupil. I used white foam core as the eyeball. To stick on wall I used 3M removable strips and duck tape to stick on the felt and foam core.
The monster is over 5 feet tall! I think he is so cute!
It makes a big impact on the wall. Madison loves it!! Not sure if I'm going to add more....any suggestions?? See that wrinkled green thing on chair?? Well, I will be tackling that today and will share with you later!
