Lalaloopsy Fondant Tutorial & Free Goodie Bag Crochet Pattern©

It's time to party with "Lalaloopsy"!!

Lalaloopsy Fondant Tutorial & Free Goodie Bag Crochet Pattern©

By Connie Hughes Designs©
The Free Pattern for these goodie bags is below!

I just made the figurine so if you are going to be making

a cake and want to cover it with fondant get extra.

 To make the skin color I used small amounts of copper icing...and

worked the color in kind of like pulling salt water taffy. One of

the most important thing to do when working with fondant is

to keep your hands clean...I use gloves to work in my colors.

 When making the skin color...make sure you make enough to

make the head, arms and legs...because it's very

hard to make the exact color twice.

 Make the hair the same way you did the skin...only roll it out

and place it on top of the head...I trimmed mine

as I worked it around.

 



 When making the eyes you will want to add a lot of

black icing...because if you don't you will have 

grey eyes instead of black.

 To make the hair I just made several long rolls and

folded them in half...secure the curls with a small

paint brush and a few dabs of water.

Her little crown is just 3 little rolls joined together.

 

 Roll out the fondant and apply it to

the waist area...smooth it out a little.

 

 

 Make little polka dots and make a small indent to

place the arms in.

 To make the top of the sleeves...

roll up a small ball, cut it in half.

 

 Make small dots in the front of the dress...I used

a wooden skewer that I trimmed to fit inside

the sitting body, leaving just enough to

slide the head onto.

 

I made the long skinny legs the same way

I made the hair strands...I made the shoes

by making little brick shapes and pushing the

legs through, then made a small cuff.

 I made the eye lashes by dipping my paint

brush into the black icing...practice doing this

on a piece of scrap fondant first.

I hope this has been helpful but more than anything I hope it

inspires you to try something new...who knows

you might be great at it but you'll never know

if you don't try...I don't have any training in this...I got

the bug for this when I watched TLC's Cake Challenge Contest...

I just had the urge to get my hands on some of this stuff

and no I'm not great at it...but I have a lot fun!

 Many of the scarves out there have those big over sized hoods...this one

doesn't and I made it that way on purpose...I find it a little hard to see

when you have one of those on!

 You can always make the scarf short or longer...the hood can be made wider if

you happen to want the bigger hood...you'll love how easy the pattern is!

 This is a quick project and perfect for someone heading back to school...I

made mine in a day!

 

Difficulty Level:
Easy

Yarn Used in Pattern:

4 Skeins Deborah Norville Serenity Active in White

dc-double crochet

FLO-front loops only

BLO-back loops only

FO-fasten off

 

Hook size:

10mm

Scarf measures about 82 ½ inches long

To make the Hood:
On each side of the scarf count up from the bottom 56sts, place stitch marker in the 56th st on each side.

Counting the 2 marked sts and the sts in between the 2 stitch markers you should have 38sts. Attach yarn with a sl st in one of the marked sts & ch3 and repeat row 2 all the way across. Then repeat row 1, repeat rows 1 & 2 until you have 12 rows for the hood.
