We recently had an Indiana Jones movie marathon (called Indie 500—-500 minutes of Indiana Jones) My son is such a fan. and you’ll never guess what he wanted for his birthday? a whip. Yeah right. why not just buy him a loaded gun. He actually started using a rubber snake as his “whip” and I’ll tell you what…it hurt!
so I am making him a non- whip whip. Hopefully this fabric one is going to keep the welts away.

You seriously have become my favorite blogger! LOL. Great job on the whip! (You didn't tell us if it hurt though!) And yes – he was HOT!
Kelli @ RTSM says
My boys would LOVE that! You are just too creative!
Life with the Lebedas says
Thats awesome!! Looks like your son had a blast! I don't have boys but my husband is in love with that series – strange! He would totally love this, lol. Another awesome idea girl!

Beth @ Sand To Pearl says
That is why you are a super cool mom!
Sarah Marie says
Kim! Haha! Great post. Check your email. I sent a picture of what hangs on the wall in my classroom…I think you just might appreciate it…
Kassi @ Truly Lovely says
Wow! Way to go!!! I would've never thought to just "whip" one out like that! Heehee. Couldn't help it!
elizabeth @ twelvecrafts says
SO clever!

I'm going to maintain that Harrison Ford has aged well (maybe not as well as Sean Connery) and therefore I wouldn't use the word WAS. 🙂 Just saying, I'll watch his movies any day. haha!

My son is an Indy freak! He was him for Halloween and I meant to make a whip, but I ran out of time and just bought one. And, just so you know, I was THIS CLOSE to naming my daughter Indiana (after Jones, of course), but my husband talked me out of it. We named the cat that instead!
Erica says
Love your whip, my kids love the movies and are constantly asking for a whip.
On the other had I met a mother who's last name was Jones who named her poor poor son Indiana Jones. I knew the kid when he was three and everyone was already looking at him funny. One worse was the Family with the last name Davidson who named their one and only girl Harley. Oh my!
MrsJoseph says
My friend named her DAUGHTER Indiana Jones. I kid you not. We all tried to talk her out of it, but her husband insisted.
Cash Is Chaos says
Fantastic! I am going to "whip" one up for my son's birthday. While I was pregnant with my 3rd child, he tried to name him Indiana Ironman. It almost worked. Great idea!
Cris says
Was hot? IS still hot in my opinion. And I totally agree. Sean Connery is way up there in the hot old man scale! LOL
I don't know about the name Indiana, but do love the name Harrison. I'd like to name a son that, but my husband says no way since our last name has the word Head in it. Get it? Harry Head? Yikes!
I do love the whip project. Very clever as always!;)

To the second to last comment on HF : AMEN!
And yes, now I AM singing the theme song, thanks :op
Caroline @ Atelier Caroline says
Love the idea… and I think Harrison Ford is still hot… It's like Sean Connery and good wine, enjoyable when young.. and getting more interesting as years go by
Mandi @ Vintage Revivals says
Lol this chain of comments rocks!! Don't whip me but I haven't seen any of the Indiana jones movies….can we still be friends?
Love your guts

The Colbys says
well, technically his parents didn't name him Indiana-remember? His name is Henry Jones Jr-he named himself Indiana after the dog 🙂 But I love the whip idea! Super cute and hopefully softer than a real one!
Dorothy says
A friend of a friend named their daughter Indie after him. They also have a son named Annakin and another named Neo. No, I'm not kidding. Oy!
Emily and Jaime at Everyday Art says
That's fantastic! My MIL makes capes for all her grandboys, but a whip would be awesome–I've passed your tutorial along. 🙂 My husband always says he'll dress up for Halloween only if I can get him a REALLY GOOD Indiana Jones costume. I'm well on my way now. 🙂
