The last thing you probably expected to read about on my art page is football. However some friends of mine over at BM-5 Tailgaters asked if I would be open to making some custom Chicago Bears Vs. Green Bay Packers pin up girl style barrettes for their female fanbase. As you all know I enjoy making anything that gets my creative blood flowing and loved the idea of getting to contribute to their team spirit and passion for the game. 👻✨
I handcrafted a total of 12 barrettes, 6 per team…
I individually packaged the barrettes so they were ready for their upcoming events and included a I Support Human Handmade Art sticker in each one for some added flare.
They really liked the way they turned out and I had a lot of fun making something where I was able to use my Dead Girl Decay pin up girl style but themed for something out of “my norm” or should I say out of “my weird”.
If you are a hardcore fan of the Chicago Bears I highly recommend to “bear down”and give this wild group a follow over on their Facebook page. These guys are not just fans, they are dedicated to the game. They have been featured on many news broadcasts, involved in charity fundraisers, and are proud Charter members of the Chicago Bears Tailgating and the National Tailgating Hall of Fame.
And if you are looking to add some unique handmade flare for your next event, be sure to contact me about custom orders and check out some of the other unique wearable creations I have conjured up on the Dead Girl Decay page of my official portfolio website. I also have a few remaining Pop Culture Decay barrettes available in my Etsy shop and on the shelves in my Cabinets of Curiosities at Closet Collectibles in Crete, IL.!
Stay Strange & Magical,
LDG Nicole
