Welcome to Make it & Love it!

I'm Ashley, the DIY-enthusiast behind this crazy blog. Feel free to browse the crafting, sewing, decorating (and lots more!) tutorials that I've had fun sharing here. And then try some out...you may really surprise yourself (like I often times do!) that, "wow, I just made that!"

Make a “TOOTHLESS” Dragon Hoodie (…from an existing jacket!)

February 18, 2019 By Ashley 1 Comment

This post is sponsored by Universal Pictures……however, all opinions and tutorials are 100% mine.  So thanks for supporting the brands that support this site! :)

Are any of you (or your kids/grandkids/friends) “How To Train Your Dragon” fans??  My 10 year old Connor has been a huge fan for YEARS!  He got all 12 books for his 8th birthday and has read through them all several times…as well as my 12-year-old Ellie, who has snuck them from his shelf over the years and loved them just as much.  And if any of you have been around this blog for a while, you’ll know that I made Connor a DIY Hiccup Costume for Halloween a few years ago and then of course had to make Oliver a DIY Toothless Costume to match!  You guys, those costumes were so fun to make….and those old pictures just crack me up!

My older kids have seen the first two movies that came out several years ago and they have loved watching their favorite characters brave the adventures in an exciting world where dragons exist!  So when they found out the final installment in the series was finally being released, I might have heard a few “hallelujah’s” sung around this house! ;) And that’s why when I was invited to create a project that’s inspired by the release of the latest movie, How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (being released February 22nd )……I knew I had to jump all over it!  I mean come on, it’s in our blood around here!

I thought about several ideas that would be so fun to make….but finally decided that since it’s going to start warming up here in Oklahoma, and Oliver and Max are in need of some lighter jackets, I decided to make these “Toothless” Dragon Hoodie/Jackets for them both. But the EASY way!
