CONSTRUCTION BEGINS

I used Dylon dye in 'Bahama Blue' to dye my baby blue material so that it was the colour I wanted.
I bought an Elmo toy which I proceeded to disassemble in order to gain an understanding of the structure and to use as a template.
Elmo doesn't look to happy after being disassembled. Sorry Elmo!
DYLON DYE, yay pretty colours!
Had a major panic because after doing some extensive research on Dylon dye, I discovered that it doesn't tend to work very well on synthetic or treated Nylon fabrics (typical that this is EXACTLY what my product is!)
Turns out I didn't need to worry, it worked perfectly - better than I could have hoped actually, yay!
BEFORE AND AFTER - Baby blue on the left, and dyed result on the right (Still wet!!!)
Still wet, but currently drying as I type!
