Guest Tutorial: Magnetic Superhero Playset with Chez Beeper Bebe

MagneticPlaySetGothamCity.jpg
I am SUPER excited about today's guest (OK, sorry for the pun; I am also very excited)...today Holly from Chez Beeper Bebe is here with the most awesome tutorial for magnetic superhero playset! You may remember Holly from last year when she contributed a nifty paratrooper softie toy tutorial
This time Holly will show the basics of how to make your own magnetic superhero playset! This is great for taking on the go -- just stash it inside the Scavenger Bag or Messenger Bag you just made for your little dude (you guys have those finished already, right?)!
Here's Holly:

Hey. I'm Holly from Chez Beeper Bebe.  I am so happy to be back over here visiting with all of you and Rae.  I use a hand-me-down 1970-era sewing machine from my mother-in-law and I like to make plushies and toys and other things that seem important in the moment.  I also like to make things from other things--finding new uses for old tees, cashmere sweaters, wool suit jackets, and whatever else inspires me at the thrift store.  I have one boy of my own and I can tell you that he can hardly wait to get his hands on the completed project I am sharing with you today and has already asked me 4 times in the last hour when he can play with it (patience not high on the list of 6-year-old virtues). This is actually a pretty simple project that is easy to assemble--and better yet, it is endlessly customizable to your own boy's interests--be that wild animals, trucks and cars, Spiderman, or maybe Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.  The world is your oyster with this project as long as you are willing to spend a little time doing some image searches on Google.  I hope you will enjoy it--and also, thanks for coming over to my place--it is always lovely to have new people in the neighborhood.  Happy Celebrate the Boy Month!
