Russell up badges pdf

Last week I shared with you the Disney UP-themed event for church that I put together. One of my favorite crafts/projects from that night is the Wilderness Explorer badges and sash that I made to sit out on one of the tables. Remember the cute boy Russell from the movie, and the sash with badges that he wore? This is a replica of that, complete
with the same Wilderness Explorer Badges that he wore! This Russell UP sash is perfect for a Russell UP costume for Halloween, an UP themed party costume or decoration, or even just for fun! These UP badges weren’t hard to make, but did a little bit of time. I found Pixar’s Wilderness Explorer badges online (just do a quick Google search to find
them), then had them printed at the copy store onto thick photo paper. I used this tutorial here as my inspiration, but made a few changes. Russell UP Sash and Wilderness Explorer Badges Supplies: Badges (printed onto thick cardstock or photo paper) Mod Podge (I used Matte) Craft foam Scissors Foam brush Adhesive Dark brown felt Glue gun
Step 1. Print the badges. I had my badges printed at the copy store so they were better quality.
Step 2. Carefully cut out each badge, then glue it onto a thin strip of craft foam. Using a foam brush, I brushed on a thin layer of Mod Podge to protect the paper badges and make them more durable. Then I cut out each individual badge from the foam. The grape soda badge was a favor left over from an UP birthday party we went to last year. So
glad I saved it! Step 3. Next, I used my son and measured the brown felt, and cut out two long strips. I glued the strips together with the glue gun (yay for no sewing!) to look like a sash. I then glued all of the badges onto the sash, leaving a spot for the grape soda badge of course. My son begged me to keep the sash, because he loved how it looked.
It was pretty easy to put together, too, which is always a plus! How will you use these cute little badges? For a Russell UP costume?

And Happy November :) I want to show you guys my Halloween costume that I made this year! I was itching to craft and sew so I thought that dressing up as Russell from the movie UP is a
fun idea. Keep reading to see how I made my costume. Enjoy! Handmade costume as Russell "The wilderness must be explored! CA-CA!" Russell the Wilderness Explorer Items needed to make the costume: ♥ T-shirt transfer sheets ♥ Furniture felt pads in oatmeal (36 pieces) - 1 1/8" ♥ Dark brown fabric for the sash ♥ Orange fabric for the scarf ♥
Orange felt fabric for the flag ♥ Thin wooden dowels (Thanks, bff, for giving it to me) ♥ Bottle Cap - around 1" ♥ Clear round epoxy sticker - 1" ♥ 2 x safety pins ♥ Miscellaneous objects for the backpack (key items: trumpet, pan, and flashlight) ♥ Yellow baseball cap ♥ Yellow polo (Thank you, BN for lending it!) ♥ Brown shorts I started off with
Russell's cute scout badges. Luckily, there are templates where I can easily print them on the transfer-on paper. You can find the templates here and here.
I didn't want to waste ink by printing the brown background, so I edited the pictures using a photo editor. On a side note, make sure you use an ink jet printer, not laser. Trust me, I almost broke a laser printer. Printing Russell's scout badges on a tranfser-on sheet Initially, I was going to iron on the badges onto the sash, but I wanted more depth and
more of a fabric texture. I looked around the house and ...furniture felt paddings! They are perfect in size and they are self-adhesive! Getting ready to iron on the badges onto the felt pads I'm so happy with the end result! The badges look great and just what I was hoping for.
Badges are ready to be placed on the sash! Since the felt pads were self-adhesive, it was very easy to stick on each badge to the sash. However, if you are planning to move around a lot, I would suggest to hot glue each badge. I lost some badges :( Anyway, I couldn't help it and HAD to add some glitter. If you didn't notice, I placed the main badges
according to the movie/pictures (I just had to). My favourite part of this costume is the Grape Soda bottle cap pin or the "Ellie Badge". I won't spoil the movie, but you should really watch it if you haven't yet. The Ellie Badge is my favourite part of the costume The Grape Soda bottle cap pin was easy to make. The clear round epoxy sticker gives the pin
a glass-like effect. I used Google to search for the grape soda logo and printed on a paper. Making the Grape Soda bottle cap pin Surprisingly, the flag was the most difficult part of the costume to make. I couldn't find my hot glue gun to stick to flag together. My mom saved me by sewing and finishing the flag for me. Thanks, Mom! For the flag and
hat, I also printed the Wilderness Explorer logo onto a transfer-on sheet and ironed it on. You can also look for the logo on a search engine. My backpack with random items After all that...ta da! Close up And of course, our pumpkins... Hello Kitty, The Hulk, and Hello Kitty Vampire I hope you enjoyed reading and looking through the pictures. I really
had fun making this costume! I even won Best Costume at my friend's Halloween party :) Yay! Have a good weekend! -------- Edit: You can "gawk" at this DIY project at Craftgawker. Click here :)
